thanks again scooby. since i will only be growing for myself, I wont spare any expensive (reasonable) that will improve my grow at all. im thinking i will only have 4 plants growing at a time, so if there are any nutrients/lights/strains/anything anyone can recommend me please do
Growing is something that takes time to learn...you can (and should) start with good quality products for all different aspects of your grow, but most important is going to be experience. After that come genetics and lighting. Without good genetics you can do everything right and end up with a poor end product. And without proper lighting for the size of your grow you end up with problems like fluffy buds, stretching, etc..
Make sure you set up your grow room with adequate ventilation/filtration and read up on some of the basics regarding light distance from plants (if it burns your hand chances are it burns the plants too) and temperatures in general. Watering and feeding schedules are important, and as scooby said any basic nutrient plan will work well for you. Once you have more experience, you can add and experiment with different/more advanced nutes, but as a beginner especially I would stick with the simple two or three part systems for veg/flower. Marijuana plants can be easily "burned" by feeding too strongly, and most people recommend feeding at a quarter strength from what it says on the bottle. Listen to this advice, and if your plants are looking like they need more nutrients then you can slowly increase the feeding. If anything you want to increase frequency of nutrients rather than the amount given at each feeding to begin with. Once the plants have chemical burn it's tough to recover. Over time you learn the specific strain you're growing and what it likes through experience.
Expect to learn a lot through the first cycle of plants and take it as exactly that, a learning experience. My first grow I was just happy to smoke the bud and get high, and have learned a lot in the process. Good luck with everything, and think about buying a book for your own reference. Information on here is great, but the ease of access with a book, coupled with the completeness of the information, I think is invaluable as a first time grower. Hope your injury gets better. I had a burst fracture L1 and an incomplete spinal cord injury and seven years later I'm walking, healthy, active, and happy. Keep your head up and hopefully your recovery continues. The marijuana certainly helps with the nerve pain
Aloha
