Edit: Growing in 70/30 Coco/Perlite using 12x 5.5 Gallon Air Pots

I currently have

Humboldts Secret A&B base
Botanicare Cal-Mag
RapidStart / CloneX (For seedling Stage)
PH Up & Down

Should I be using something else with what I currently have ?

Possibly Humboldts Golden Tree ?
Possibly mix about (10% ??) worm castings inside the coco/perlite mixture ?

Or do I need something else ?

What about Recharge ? Would that work good with what I currently have ? And do you only use it every now and then ? Or with every watering ?

Do you have an EC/ppm meter?

Like Mick said you only need A and B. Maybe some Epsom Salts.

Yes. I bought this one.. good or bad ?

Figured 7 in 1 would be helpful, paid like $60, hopefully it’s a decent one lol. Seems to work alright from my knowledge. Possibly should of got the expensive blue pen but I’m sure this will suffice till I get my first yield and upgrade everything Lol

I'm sure it's fine as long as it's calibrated. How big are the plants? What EC are you feeding at?

Twelve plants is an awful lot to manage on a first grow. What size space and lights are you using?

The room is finished but long story short. I pulled the ceiling down and attached my lights to the floor and gained about 8” as opposed to leaving them mounted to the drywall/1x4’s ran across the ceiling.. so I’m installing the drywall ceiling as we speak, slapping some panda film on and then re installing my lights again(which are connected to lines that can be raised up and down). I’ll take a picture here ina minute and post it. But the room is 8x8x8 and has 4x 8” Air cooled hoods with 4x 1000 watt HPS bulbs installed. But I’ll probably grab 4x 600 watt MH to use for veg and possible 4x 600 watt HPS lights to flower.

I have the lights attached in a series of 2 connected to a Y duct (3-way) and run through a duct going outside of the room connected to a 1500 CFM 12” Inline fan which is connected to an upstairs vent which vents the heat into a spare bedroom. And then I have a 8” ac infinity 800 cfm fan connected to an 8” ac infinity carbon filter that is vented through a window blowing the odor outside. And I have another 8” ac infinity 800 cfm inline fan connected to a 8” ac infinity carbon filter installed outside of the room which is blowing fresh air into the room from outside of it in a lung room. And then I have 4x 400/600/1000 Watt digital ballasts outside of the room mounted on the wall.. also have 2x 30 gallon trash cans outside with a big air pump connected to an 8 inch circle air stone where I’ll keep my nutrient solution. Once plants get to big I’ll be installing a pump inside the can connected to hoses and a timer so it’ll water itself.. and I also have these rolling saucers that’ll I’ll be putting a hole in the middle of connected to a hose and run them to the other trash can, install a pump connected to the lines that way I can suck out the run off water. Sorry for going into detail but yeah. That’s my set up lol
