Well, I've grown a lot of hydro crops using only basic nutrients, and it will work just fine for you. You can grow good healthy plants.
I believe you will do better with some additives, though. Basic hydro nutrients will work for primary metabolic processes of the plant, and additives will aid the secondary processes that enhance the production of resin compounds like flavanoids and terpenes that add to the taste and aroma. These are the things that happen naturally in soil, and may be lacking in some hydro-grown plants.
A vitamin/hormone supplement, like SuperThrive
A kelp supplement, like Floralicious Plus
Enzyme supplement
PK Booster, last half of flowering, like Kool Bloom
