There is a great set of nutrients out for beginners. Its called Technaflora Starter Kit for Sucess. I used this kit the first time I tried nutes and now I still grow with the same nutes and do the same things and I am VERY happy with their product. Its all PH balanced and going in to my water, I don't ever check my PH anymore. It's always accurate. I use my tap water from day one and continue using my tap water and their nutes and I am all good in the hood...many succesfull grows now with their product. I highly recommend it.
