Limited nutrients available, help needed!

Okay, here is the thing. I live in Georgia, not the state, the country, and I'm restricted to certain nutrient lines that are already available here. I'm planning on growing an auto indoors and my friend is growing one auto and one fem outdoor. When it comes nutes I see a lot of people recommending brands that I don't normally see here and ordering them is a bit of hassle and time-taking so I'd like to avoid that. Since we are totally new at this, we know this will more practice grow than anything else.

Can you guys recommend me what I can use that works well with auto and fem flowers, as we are planning on sharing nutes together. (indoor and outdoor, if that makes a difference)
We are using a local mix soil in which the content is (peats, coco, perlites, compost, bio humus), with a ph of 6.0-7.5, and on the package, it says NPK (1.5% - 2.0% - 1.8%). Planning on adding perlites and mykos to it as well.

Nute brands and other goodies that are available:
I can't seem to get GHE flora trio, (I believe in EU the name is Terra Aquatica, a quick google check says they use the same formula but would like some advice on that) but Terra Aquatica seems easier to find.
- Terra Aquatica starter kit (Micro, grow, bloom)
- Terra Aquatica ProOrganic kit
- Maxigro and Maxibloom dry from Terra Aquatica GHE

- Remo nutrients

- Advanced Nutrients brands that are available:
PH Perfect Sensi (this one seems to be the most expensive one here)
Jungle Juice
PH Perfect Grow, Micro, Bloom

- Biobizz 3 part is available as well as 'BioBizz TRY·PACK™ INDOOR' (is this pack only for indoor growers or the same thing?)

- Top crop line


Things I already have (free goodies), cal-mag, ph down, flora kleen, and Recharge
I'm also interested in getting soil microbes and the two things available for it are Great white and Extreme gardening Mykos. I'm leaning more on Mykos, read good stuff about it, but is alright to use that and recharge on autoflowers, or is that too much?

If it's not obvious, I'm 100% noob, so any advice would be most appreciated!

May help keep you off the radar so to speak buying stuff know to be mj products
Gotcha, I'm not oblivious to the fact that most of these mj nutrient brands are selling their brand names instead of their nutes. But at the moment I'm living here, and I'm not from Georgia. So every fertilizer I pick up comes with a strenuous translation process before I can understand what's on their label, and most of them don't have any info on any site which furthermore gets frustrating.

I do grow tomato, and pepper plants myself, and I've got a simple NPK liquid, it has a strong odor and it's fully black, but dirt cheap and lasts a long time, plants seem to really like tho. But will a simple NPK liquid keep mj plant healthy? But in regards to organic products, I know too little to play around with a mj plant. Unfortunately, I've seen local growers themselves use EU products instead of their local ones, but nevertheless will check that route as well and see what I can find.

AN Jungle Juice. It’s stable as hell and works just fine. From your list.

Homemade super soil the best. For next year. If you want bud this season get practical.

Thank you, I'll definitely give that a try, I'm all up for trying a budge grow. This just allows me to get better strain than focusing on pricey nutes.
i have the best plants with good rich soil manure bat guano and ewc. bottles dont even work for me that well when they need nutrients i just topdress and water. much cheaper than any nutrients and plus i always had problems with bottle feeding anyways haha

Ah i see your falling into the magic/special plant train of mind
As a new player, it's hard not to. Overwhelming information about brands and products is everywhere. From youtube, reddit, and most forums. A simple google search of 'mj nutrients' takes you down the rabbit hole. But nevertheless, thank you, will look at more alternative products and learn more about organic goodies for future grows.

That's what I'm using. Can it be used through flowering too?
Tomatoes like more P than K when setting fruit but anything that will grow tomatoes well will do a decent job with pot. I've used AN nutes since '01 and tried lots of others especially since switching over from DWC to more organic growing.

I use normal Tomato Feed, a brand called Tomorite. It is NPK 4 3 8. It works well.

That's not correct
Tomatoes (and peppers) use substantially more K than P at all stages of growth

That's not what I've read over the years. Tomatoes prefer higher P to K tho need plenty of that too where pot prefers more K than P after the stretch to fatten up the buds. Excess P in pot is what gives that 'chem' taste in overfed bud. That's why I prefer Big Bud for my bud booster after an initial dose of P/K, (0-52-34), for the stretch as it's 0-15-35 with 10%S and other goodies. I always cut back on N after the stretch by switching to Lucas Formula feeding.

I'm not saying to eliminate P or any other nute but by adjusting the ratio of nutrients for the different stages of flowering it can make a big difference to the outcome. More important in hydro growing like the 50 DWC grows I've done since '01than in organics but still applicable. With the orgnics I'm getting into these days I just try to make sure there's enough of everything in the soil so the plant can take what it needs when it needs it. Excesses of one over the other can screw that up tho.
