First Grower Nutrients Help

Hey guys,
i am a first grower . So i thought about using 2 CFL a 130 Watt for Growth and 2 CFL 130 Watt for Flowering also. I wanted to use the Compost soil for my Plants but i dont know which Nutrients / fertilizer I should add. I though about for Growing something like 20-10-10 and Flowering 10-30-20 or 10-20-20.
Ohh also im think im going to grow in my wardrobe.

So could you please help me out

those nutrients are too strong. I recommend something that doesn't go into the double digits. depending on the soil you use you often dont need much for veg if any nutrients at all. the compost soil is your own compost? if so this can be a problem because you will bring in bugs from the outside into your grow. good luck and happy farming

Thank you for the Reply. I thought about buying the Compost Soil or should i use other potting mix?

Soil : Fox Farm Ocean Forest

I second this recommendation. I use FF Ocean Forest and my plants have almost never required additional nutes during veg.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by compost soil? Are you talking about stuff from your home compost pile or a comercial soil with compost in it? Compost would work fine, but you'll have to add stuff to it to make it drain better, like perlite. I'm sure the Fox Farm stuff mentioned is great if you have a local source for it or if you are willing to mail order. If you're looking for something you can easily source locally at Home Depot or Lowe's or another local place you can usually find Pro-Mix. I personally add a ittle extra Perlite and Vermiculite to it, but honestly it would work fine straight from the bag. If you have compost available you could probably mix up some good soil with some perlite, vermiculite and your compost.

Those nutrient ratios are ok, but as was mentioned, the concentrations are high. You can use it, but you'll have to be careful with how much you add. Less concentrated nutes will be more forgiving, something like 5-1-1 for veg and something like 2-8-4 for flowering.

I just recently changed my mind i will use a premium Potting mix for my Plants (the ph is 5,6 but im cool with that i will just water it with some higher Ph-Water to adjust the PH of the Soil ), which has nutrients for feeding the plants for 5 Months. Also im going to buy a fertilizer for the Flowering stage 3,5 - 8 - 8. What you think about that?
