New Grower think im ready to start my first grow

If money is not a big issue use the Advanced nutrients Ph perfect grow ,bloom and micro Its great for starters and you can add in the bloom booster trio later if you want they have a feeding chart to follow its real easy
 
I use Dyna grow line on my auto and on photos I use the GH Flora line with the fox farm bloom boosters
 
Cheap fan and filter at the store was like 450... I havent even researched them but it seemed like a lot. Also havent done too much research on ferts yet. Any recommendations?

I am using Mills for the 3rd run. I am really happy with them. It is kinda spendy to start, but you use very little of the additives, so they last a long time. For me it has been better to have one line and follow the regimen as they direct. I mean, they spend huge amounts of $$ to figure that stuff out.
 
Thanks for the recommendations ill take a better look next time I stop in the hydro store. Shouldnt need much more except a fan for a couple weeks right? And a new timer of course. Oh and I need more soil because either the bag was optimistic about filling 3 5g buckets or the bags are more than 3g.
 
The sunshine #4 is good for autoflowers because it has no nutrients added to it. So your first choice is do you want to add nutrients to the soil or do you want to add them through a nutrient line. I am working on not having to add any bottle nutrients and just using soil amendments and different compost teas throughout the grow to add certain nutrients. You also want to be able to some how control your environment I suggest running your room for at least a day and see what you highs and lows for temp and humidity are before even putting anything in the room.
 
So yesterday 3 of them cracked through the shells and I put them in the starter kit, this morning they are looking much better and the other 2 seeds opened so im moving them now. Im off to lowes and the grow shop to finish my room and pickup ferts (hopefully)

So I ended up with dutch master nutrient a and b and add.27 to start plus general hydroponics rapid start rooting enhancer. The lady said these would be good to start but id need more stuff for flowering. Her recommendation was to start the rooting stuff after 1 week, then 5-5-5 for 1 week then 10-10-10. Does this sound like a decent start? So about a week and a half before I start the dutch master nutes?
 
Got my grow room closer, finally finished off insulating and picked up a small room heater since it was around 70 in there. I have it plugged into a timer so it will be on 30 min and off 30 min im gonna give it a bit and see what the temp and humidity goes to.

Today I also removed the cover a few times from the nursery for about an hour or 2 and will probably move them to the grow room tomorrow, not sure if I should move the 13w cfl over or just give them the 700w led raised up a ways. Also curious if there is any disadvantages to running the light 24/7 mostly since im already concerned with it being a bit cold
