Newbie First Grow

Hey, i just started putting together everything i think i need for a closet grow. first, here is a list of everything i have so far.

Grow room - 64" X 32" X 7' painted white
Pots - small mini pots , 8.5" pots
soil - Miracle grow organic potting mix, Promix
Nutrients - The original prue blend metabolic grow formula ( for veg only)
seeds strain - Northern lights
lights - 400 watt hps and mh
Fan - 4 " exhaust inline fan with carbon filter, oscalating fan

I have been doing a little bit of research but i am stuck on soil and nutrients. im thinking i can use the miracle grow for seedlings and sprouting. Then i may have to mix the promix with nutrients or some kind or water release. i know you water when the soil feels dry but is that really accurate to when you water? or is there some kind of guide line. my lights will be 18 hour veg, 12 hour flower. i will post pics
Any help would be apprecated. thanks alot everyone
Cheers

just put the germinated and ready seeds in a cup with soil, how long till the seedling started sprouting out and shooting upwards?

don't start seedlings off in hot soil, imo

Ya im germinating right now. as soon as there is a sprout im going plant into little pots with miracle grow. Do MH lights work for seedlings?

Use fox farms ocean forest or light warrior mix for seedlings. The fox farms line up also provides excellent nutrients.

i believe that fox farm soil has many nutrients ur plant needs, (if your not feeding during early veg) with a good nutrition plan later, u can use many other potting soils(make sure its organic) i don't like miracle grow because it has time release nitrogen pellets and can give it excess nitrogen during budding, witch can make ur smoke taste harsh,miracle grow is great for a house plant, not a pot plant The set up sounds nice, and yes MH light works great for seedlings the 6500k light gives it healthy growth and dark color. My rule for watering is every other day weather it needs it or not as long as u get good drainage, and every other water feed it, I have experience with Nectar For The Gods, i love the line up, gives me tight dank indoor bud, and so far is doing a great job out door veg.

Fox Farms ocean forest worked great seedlings have sprouted.
about inch grow already in 48 hrs.

I'm thinking about using

growbig
big bloom
tiger bloom

what do you guys suggest?/?"

beautiful crystals !!

nectar for the gods?

is fox farms nutrients good as well

or is n.o.g the way to go ?

I think that that the fox farm line up is good and ive used it before, just flush well befor harvest, if u have the money N.O.G. is the way to go, other wise the fox farm should be good. How ever if you add TM-7 (micronuterient mineral supplement) and a single type if NOG called "Zeus Juice" to the fox farm that shit is a crazy growth enhancer.

how would i mix the two different nutrients ?
im doing outdoor grow
idk if that makes a difference or not, rather not risk not mentioning any details haha

Ive looked far and wide for fox farm in canada. Ive decided promix was my next best bet. i havent read alot of people using promix hp so i guess this is kinda a test. i got my first two sprouts today. Day 3 from planting seed.

I dont think that temperature is correct. theres no way it feels like 84.

#1 sprout - (still has seed shell)

#2 Sprout

Not the prettiest but i think she'll work. LOL

I did move the light up a bit its sitting at about 3.5 feet away it was at 2 feet. but i didnt wanna burn the plants. What do you guys think?

If u hold your hand under the light to where its just slightly warm, thats probably your best spot
