basically u only need 2 or 3 different nutes one for veg which should be high in nitrogen and round in p and k ie.(24-10-10) a flower nute which is high in p ie (2-15-10) and if u want u can have a seedling nute which should be very mild and high in both n and p or u can just use ur flower nut for the little guys, but u only need to nute about once a week until u get into flowering, but always use 1/4 nutrients unless u are sure its lacking something(tho it shouldnt be with the right soil) Soil or i like coco mix better (cause it drains fast and allows me to water everyday, but a good potting soil mixed with some additives like : perlite, vermiculte, worm castings, peat moss, and lime (if ur soil's ph is to high), but one last word is when ur nuting always under do rather than over do it cause remember the plant would be fine with only plain old water. also id look into getting a ph tester and some up or down
