This is my first grow.

I had these 4 plants and 11-23w 6500k cfl's but i had heat and bug problems. Had to clip all infected leaves off and move everything to a smaller more cleaner area. This area is in a cabinet and has wrapping paper on the walls for reflectiong with 4-23w cfl's at 6500k. Also 2-42w 2700k cfl's. The lights are about 2-3 inches off the plants. The temp stays around 78-82 degrees because i live in south florida and its very hot. I have a bathroom fan thats 70cfm ventilating the cabinet. I have a dish of vinegar that i sometimes throw some baking soda into for co2. Im slowly starting to feed them nutes. Im using 1/4th strength MG All purpose and watering once a week.

Im low on budget and saw that some recommended these types. I thought MG big bloom was good for the flowering stage? If not, what do you recommend?

im using a mix of sholts 10-15-10 and MG 8-20-5 or something like that it is the little packets that you mix in to a gallon and my plants are doing nicely so i would say if you do things right then you should be just fine with MG good luck ha and as for stealing from walmart seems like a bad idea to me!
