first grow - question about watering and nutes

Hi im a beginner and this is my first grow, i have some questions if you can help


im going to grow some lowryder #2
40% organic wiggle worm casting
30% organic vermiculite
30% organcic perlite

my question is can i use just iguana grow and iguana bloom for nutes will that be enough?

and how much should i feed them , and do i feed them 1 time per week, and i read that you mix the nutes in sterile water , so i need 1 gallon of water and then put the nutes in, mix it and check ph levels? what should the ph level be?

and what products should i use to bring ph down and bring ph up if needed?


how much should i water, and do i water daily ?

i am going to use Floralux 400 W HPS growing light and HPS bulb

i bought some reflectors i will put up on the walls, the area will be about 3x3x12ft? not sure the height

it will be grown inside a closet and i will grow 3 of them, they are all female



thanks

Thats a lot of questions!

When you mix your nutes, ph the water first. Once your finished adding, check the ph again.

You can get ph up/down at a hydro store.

As for watering, its different for everyone. What size pots? Light cycle? Size of plants....... You just need to check them daily until you get the hang of it. Feeling the weight of the container is another good way to tell if you need water.

I think you should go with pureblend pro for your nutes. Easy to use and they have enzymes and shit in them already. Advanced Nutrients is awesome but you need to buy a lot of shit to grow properly.

Here's a scale for ph. Depending on your ph, certain nutrients will become available or locked out. The key is balance!
Good Luck!!!

thanks for the help!

Ph your water after you add the nutes because when you add them the PH will drop. i think checking the ph before is just wasting your time. your going to have to check it again anyway. water the plants when the soil feels dry. you can just use your finger and push down into the soil. if it feels damp then dont water it. but if it feels dry then water it. you will know when they need water because the leaves will start to wilt. you really shouldnt let them get to that point but if you do you will be able to gauge how many days it took and you will know to water them right before that happens.
