Im going to pickup all my nutrients when a local shop has a 20% off sale on the 8th of October. My clones will be ready to go on the 9th. Im trying to hammer out exactly what I am going to need for this grow. What I have on the list right now,

Veg 3-4 weeks until screen is 60% or so full:
Sensi Grow A+B
Voodoo Juice - or something cheaper, this stuff is expensive! suggestions?
other suggestions?

Bloom:
Sensi Bloom A+B
Big Bud
Bud Candy
anything else?

The store also carries a earth worm casing liquid, I cant recall what its for or what its suppose to do. Perhaps you guys could guess at that. But, would something like this be good to run? Its $11 for a half gallon.

So, overall I will be running (2) 100qt(25gallon) igloo coolers via DWC bubbleponics with (2)10" air stones in each running on 2 pumps(each can operate up to (12) 10" air stones and has a speed adjuster).

Now, Im trying to go off the Advance Nutrients calculator, but I keep reading its off by a lot. Ill be running all my water through a RO unit and into the rez, let it bubble for 24 hours, then draining into the plant cooler itself for week 1. Next, I will prep week 2 rez water by bubbling 25 gallons for 24 hours, then add nutes to bring it up to ~150ppm. Drain 1 plant cooler, then fill. Start new rez water on bubble for 24hrs cycle, bring up to 150ppm, drain plant cooler #2 and fill with new rez water.

Repeat for 4 weeks or until screen is 60%, then flip, stretch and hope for max fill on the screen.

Week 4 bring up to about 450ppm and do a change out as described during the first part. Hopefully by week 12(week 8 flower) I can be at 1300ppm.

SO, could someone help me figure out how much nutes I "should" use during this grow? If you could do more than just say that would be great, would like to be able to figure this out myself in the future.

You could possibly get better results and save your wallet quite a bit by investing in complete nutrient line-ups like dyna gro...you will need a bottle of grow a bottle of bloom and you can add Pro tekt (potassium silicate) which will strengthen plants and help them fight of bugs or disease plus it helps keep your ph stable so you dont have to adjust it every day.
