This is my first grow.

I had these 4 plants and 11-23w 6500k cfl's but i had heat and bug problems. Had to clip all infected leaves off and move everything to a smaller more cleaner area. This area is in a cabinet and has wrapping paper on the walls for reflectiong with 4-23w cfl's at 6500k. Also 2-42w 2700k cfl's. The lights are about 2-3 inches off the plants. The temp stays around 78-82 degrees because i live in south florida and its very hot. I have a bathroom fan thats 70cfm ventilating the cabinet. I have a dish of vinegar that i sometimes throw some baking soda into for co2. Im slowly starting to feed them nutes. Im using 1/4th strength MG All purpose and watering once a week.

Im low on budget and saw that some recommended these types. I thought MG big bloom was good for the flowering stage? If not, what do you recommend?

yea but they are also on the pricey side.. Im not sure what im going to use. So far im staying with MG but just giving it alot less and gradually giving it to the plants.

im using a mix of sholts 10-15-10 and MG 8-20-5 or something like that it is the little packets that you mix in to a gallon and my plants are doing nicely so i would say if you do things right then you should be just fine with MG good luck ha and as for stealing from walmart seems like a bad idea to me!
