Setup and Nutes question specific

For my vegetative state I will be using a drip feed method with fluorescent lighting on 24/7, growing out of aquablocks which are basically rock wool blocks.

For flowering I will be switching to the ebb and flow system with HPS as my lighting for 12/12. Then covering the blocks with another medium like planting rocks or perlite.

Does this sound alright? Im following the "I grow chronic" video that some of you might have seen.

My question basically concerns nutes, I bought a 10-15-10 Schultz concentrate fertilizer, liquid plant food with micronutrients. will this work? Is it worth dropping some more money for something different like the GH flora stuff? Im just worried that I have everything right except what might be most important.. the nutes. So I just some extra help or advice. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. Drip systems are a pain. Why would you start drip and then switch to ebb and flow?? Trust me on this one. I had three drip tables.
Those nutes will do ok but you will need an ec meter to tell how much to use. If you want it right why not just get some good hydro nutes to start with. VV

Well I caved in and I got some GH flora, the 3 pack of the stuff micro, bloom.. etc.

Im doing drip because it seems better for the developing plants, I dont think it would be good to ebb and flow right away.. the little plants would practically just float away. I'm following the I grow chronic video and this is what he does with incredible success whether you think hes amateur or not. His plants are incredible. I have it set up already and I think it will work alright.
