Coots soil recipe is proven and you can source it from most home depots or garden stores. Build a soil is a little overpriced, but his youtube will teach you alot, and his products are quality.
You should read the cannabis bible.

His soil recipe is very simple and effective. Buildasoil sells really good products, its just that you can get most of it cheaper elsewhere. I bought his 70 gal build a soil kit for a future project and I was very happy with the purchase.
The cannabis bible is going to get you a foundation of knowledge to build upon. There will be gaps to be filled, but its the best starting point for someone new to growing cannabis.

Ok I had a few grows before but the research is starting to be easier to remember now the more I do so I appreciate the help is the cannabis bible this, because there are several on Amazon by a similar name probably a good read

Botanicare Pure Blend Grow and Bloom.
This is a base nutrient that works well to grow high quality plants only needing the one bottle. You can always add different things but it is a solid foundation for healthy plants in my experience.

What EC do you feed at with botanicare?
Also to OP, yes botanicare is a great one bottle.
gh trio is easy
Athena can put out some wild terpy smoke if you follow the process…. Athena is expensive but produces the best results I’ve seen in real life.

"Best" is fully subjective. If I could grow canna outdoors, I'd use all natural inputs, home compost etc. This is the approach I take to outdoor growing flowers & vegetables, I suck at the veggie part but our flowers are going CRAZY.
Indoors however, I prefer a much "cleaner" approach, I prefer zero bugs good or bad. I prefer bottled nutrients and coco medium, it's the approach i learned and am used to, and I get what i'd call satisfactory+ results
this is where I really focus all my time & energy, unlike the outdoor veggie garden & it kinda shows. I need to diversify my knowledge
Anyway, back to nutrients. .... for my time/money/effort, I really prefer GH products, specifically the Flora Nova line plus additives (Si, CaMg, Floralicious Plus, liquid KoolBloom)

Likely true; but it's also true that many other nutrient brands would yield similar results.
The only unique aspect of Athena nutrients is the price.

Athena gave me straight cardboard terps & I had to use like 3x as much to get them 
jk I don't fully blame nutrients for lacking terps, but I did have to use way more Athena by volume, than any GH line. It dissolved really nicely for me but clogged my dad's drip lines whereas GH trio does not for him

Wonder where one would begin trying ebb and flow at home on a small scale. I have a idea in my head but it just doesn’t seem reasonable for a minuscule amount of plants…Athena gave me straight cardboard terps & I had to use like 3x as much to get them

RO Filtered Water > 5 ml/gal Armor Si (pH UP/Silica) > 1 teaspoon/gal MaxiBloom > pH to 5.8-6.2 (6.0 works great) and feed. Buy in the 16 & 50 lb weights to save money. Amazon even sells it.
