If you are not big on adding nutrients yourself then I would start off with some kind of STARTING SOIL (I like Jiffy's the best) for the 1st month and then transplant into some slow releasing 3 month nutrient soil. I use Miracle Grow 3 Month Releasing Nutrient Potting Soil and have had great success with it so far. Good luck!

Do you guys know if using a multi vitamin (dissolved centrum)
would do anything good or bad.
I am curious but do not want to try.

Soil huh?.... its funny i came across this thread while i was planning my next soil mix.... I live in europe, and over here most people buy there soil ready made... When i started out, i didnt know much about things aside from water, light, air, and some kind of fert.... so i just went with one brand for everything.... Plagron soil... light mix for clones and seedlings, and grow mix for the rest... it worked great... i never tryed the royalty mix, cause its far too rich and i prefer to complete feeding with liquid ferts... the bat-mix wasnt really worth it, seen as its got a very mild dose of guano in there and costs more expensive than buying guano and mixing it in the grow mix yourself.....
THen i went on the biobizz.... and used biobizz light mix for seedling and clones, and all mix for the rest....!!! I liked the result of that much better than the plagron... but at the end of the day, they are both similar...... so i just kept on going with biobizz seen as it was cheaper here....
But now i have come to realize many people say they grow bud, in order to know what it is they are smoking.... and putting in the plant (feeding it) .....
The problem is most people growing still have no idea what it is they are feeding there plant! they can tell you, "Its 100 % organic/bio" but thats just cause they find the liquid ferts that claim to be bio/organic.... but How the hell do you know what those are made of... ?? Although it says organic or bio i still wanna know what it is thats making my plant the way it is when i smoke it.....
so i began to make my own soil mix... and my own fertilizer tea's..... and to be honest, depending on the variety the results are pretty much always better than what i get from using commercialized soil..... and i find myself not having to feed the plants as often as i did with soil from the store.........
here is what i use to make my soil mix..
:black peat
:maerl
:worm castings
:bone meal
:bat guano
otting soil
erlite
:hydrocorals
And my ferts:
:worm cast tea (compost tea)
:guano tea
:mollasses
There you go.... and when i come across deficiencies i just add some guano in powder form on the top of the soil and i water....

on the whole, no, MG tends to contain slow release nutrients which often burn the plants senseless.
i also make my own mix up so that i can afford to buy other bits and pieces, i'm not super rich.
i use something like a 4:1:0.5 ratio, john innes no. 2, perlite and 5mm sand for nie airy mix with good water retention and good drainiage if i overwater
