Less is more if you're a noob.
Go to a garden center....
Keep it simple, get a topsoil, some perlite and mix it 2/3 soil to 1/3 perlite.
Add in a bag or two of worm castings into this mix. Grow in it.
Blood and Bone meal when you flower.
Shouldnt really need to worry about PH in the soil, get a simple stick in PH meter and if it gets really messed up (-5 or 9+) then fix it.
But you can also pickup a bag of lime at your store and toss a little in; the lime will keep the soil at a steady and constant PH.
Doing it with chemicals will obviously be a little bit cheaper; but this stuff is cheap enough to begin with.
Plus the organic method makes your produce taste better. After you can then try COCO peat and chemical salt based when you masted some of the basics.
This is simple as hell, and way safer for a noob to learn organics before chemical.
Kinda like the way cavemen grew back in the day. So grow sum big tomatoes, eh?

Hi bro,
Usually your nutrients will come with a feeding chart, when your first starting on the nutes feed them from 1/4 strength then work your way up...just read your plants. Feed them until there a nice lush green, not very light green not very dark green...inbetween....if that makes sense. Personally i never go over full strength on nutes. Less is more my friend!

OY. Dear goodness. Doesn't anyone read books for information anymore? Srsly, "Marijuana Horticulture" is amazing.
What was really easy for me and for some other MMJ growers I know was to use the AN Bigger Yields Hobbyist bundle. It includes everything you need:
pH Perfect Sensi Grow & Bloom (Part A and Part B)
Voodoo Juice
Big Bud
B52
Overdrive
Really, easy stuff and works great.
