I am a first time grower and looking for good, but easy to use fertilizers. I am growing in a 4x4 tent. I am using homemade organic compost mixed with top soil. My light is a FC-3000 and I do use a humidifier and carbon exaust fan.

Cultivation Nation 2 part nutrient program from Fox Farm comes in both dry salts and liquid form. It's about as easy as it gets.

GH Flora Series trio (3 part system) comes in liquid only form. It's relatively inexpensive, easy to use, and will give you reliable results.

There's others but those 2 offer ease of use at a decent price point.

If you want to stay organic Down to Earth’s Bio Turf with a 8-3-5 formula is super easy. I up-potted this plant May 25th into FFOF with compost and added 4 tbsp of Bio Turf (in 20 gal pot) and the only additional nutrients since then was another 2 tbsp of BT the first of July. (I did give it a AACT this month and threw in some rabbit poop a week ago, but not much feed in either.) Compost should supply the micro nutrients, but might want to use a supplement.

Add some worm castings to that soil mix and you can top dress with it also.

Add plenty of perlite - at least 25%. A well-drained soil is best.

My basic nutrients are Gaia Green All Purpose and Power Bloom. They're dry nutrients. I also use various other water in amendments including potassium silicate, kelp fertilizer, dolomite lime, Epsom salts, gypsum, and Azomite. (There might be more.)
