need some pointers for first grow

been looking up all over the internet and have asked a few people on some basic outdoor growing. i plan on growing the plants in pots since i have no areas that would workout and i dont have the money for all that fancy equipment. i also have bag seeds (yeah i know but thats all i have right now and would rather mess those up than something of more higher quality) what i intend on doing is once after germination i'm gonna put the seeds in the pot and work it from there. since i plan on planting them in pots i figured i'd be able to move em 2-3 times during the day for maximum sun. also i've been getting mixed advice about soil mixture and fertalizer and food. so if someone could recommend some reasonably affordable soil/f fertilizer and kind of food that would also be great. also any advice or knowledge that would like to be passed along would be great. thank you.

well first of all id would find a more permanent place to put those pots. then you can go to a hydro store buy some soil and nutes or you can mix your own soil like get peat moss, perlite, you can use really cheap stuff like horse or cow manure for a good base fertilizer and use coffee grounds for some nitrogen and it has alot of micronutes get some bone meal, worm castings green sand look this shit up.

Miracle grow or other brand all purpose plant food. Organic potting soil bag should NOT say feeds plants for 6 plus months u don't want it to say any thing about feeding ur plants no matter the brand. And some perlite to mix with soil.
Don't get suckerd into all this have to have bs mj specialty mute shit its all the same. Have fun start cheap and as u earn money u can buy what ever u want to try cuz some of the bs works but is not a nacessity for great smooke.

Biggest mistake for keen newbies is over-watering (remember roots can drown) and over-fertilising. Buy a cheap moisture meter, about a fiver. Don't however, let seeds dry out when germinating (suggest in damp paper towel in a saucer if on a budget, root-riot cubes if you can afford it) and handle them VERY carefully. Don't touch the sprout that cracks. Consider yourself lucky. I do all the hydro, lights, expensive nutes etc due to circumstances but, given the choice I would have a nice quiet greenhouse in a big garden.
