Google "NPK value"

All bud is the same; they like high nitrogen in veg, and high phosphorus in flower.

N wich is for Nitrogen is the first number
P wich is for Phosphorus is the second
K wich is potassium is the third

As the others stated during veg you want a mix that has a higher N then in flowering a higher p&k
For instance my Grow Big is 6-4-4 Im using it in veg then Combined with my flowering nutes wich are 2-8-4 Tiger bloom and eventually I will back off the grow big and give them a soluble for 2 weeks that is 0-50-30 Along with the tiger bloom and for the phaze of flowering giving them a soluble of 9-50-10 with the Tiger bloom to finish off.

Veg cycle is the plant growing. SO your giving it the nutrients it need to do so. After you start seeing preflowers and determined the plants sex you can start on on your flowering nutes. The plant will eventually stop growing into its flowering cycle and no longer needs all the Nitrogen needed at first. Now it needs the Phosphorus to produce those buds. Theres wonderfull faq section that will explain most of this.

I grow outdoors Im sure theres a few here that can help just hang around and someone will answer that for you. Or at least give you a retarded attempt at it. My guess for 4 plants you could get away with a 400w hps
