Help with Grow Kit for beginner

Hi everyone, this is my first post although I have been a member for a week now just trying to read as much as I can.

I finally received my grow Kit w/ tent right from HTGsupply) along with my seeds (5 feminised White widow and 5 Feminised Trainwreck)
With the grow kit, I got:
10 3 gallon grow bags with Starter Plugs
1L Monkey Juice Grow part A & B for Coco Coir
1L Monkey Juice Bloom part A & B for Coco Coir
10 starter plugs
2 blocks of Coco Coir grow medium
400 watt both High Pressure Sodium and Metal Halide Grow Light System with Timer
- Ventilation Fan
- Thermometer
The problem is, I know pretty much next to nothing about growing and especially about using Coco Coir and fertilizers. I basically woke up one morning and decided to order a grow kit . I haven't the slightest idea how to use a grow bag, I didn't even know you could use anything besides pots. I've been looking around for the past week online trying to find information on coco coir. The problem is when I go onto these boards and start reading posts, usually the lingo is a little out of my league.
I am hoping someone can either help me understand how to use this stuff in simpler terms or point me in the direction of a good tutorial for beginners.

No I did a search for growing with the coco coir medium, but the posts, where a little over my head. But I am reading as much stuff as I can...just that most of it deals with soil...and I haven't the faintest of ideas wht to do with this Monkey juice. The directions on the bottle are pretty vague.

I went on ahead and bought a bottle of FoxFarm Grow Big plant food. A couple of reliable sources told me this is a more proven form of food for my plants. I hear Monkey Juice isn't all that great.

Dude read my journals. I am using coco-coir as my growing medium. You don't have to cut coco-coir just soak it in water. Now, if you had this altogether, I could refer to your planting of the seeds in the cups with the coco. No one else would understand it. SeeWhatImeanVern. VV

lol. Im not trying to be a dick or anything, but its funny, dude goes out and buys all this shit, and buys good seeds, and then he's like wait, I dont know shit about what Im about to start doing better get some help. Wouldnt it have made more sense to research a bit and at lest have some basic knowledge of said subject, before spending monies? I mean if you were into this enough to go and order up a complete kit, you should've used those few days while it was in the mail to have read some shit.

Im with bigsix,you should stop right now & delve into researching the shit out of how to set up your equipment & how to sucessfully grow & care for your crop,its easy as hell but it does require some kind of understanding of the principals of growing & what protocol to follow,as well as how to correct problems that will arise,i spent about 2 months researching before i dropped seed one & im not a noob,i used to be a very good grower 20 years ago & took a 20 year break ,when i came back into this im glad as hell i put in the research,it paid off in spades.

Start with this thread to understand the terminology used in the threads here,if it helps you then take a few seconds & add to that mans reputation for the massive time it took him to compile the list,its an excellent read & worth the time.

https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/3423-vocabulary-growing-terms-slang.html

Then proceed onto the grow faq on this site,read every folder & every sub folder.

GROWFAQ

After the grow faq take a look at this tutorial by rollitup,it has excellent diagrams so you can see the basic principals of a healthy enviroment for plants & how to use your equipment.

https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/694-indoor-growing-systems.html

After you've read all of those then read this thread the whole way through,dont skip a post either,its a long ass thread but as far as information about how to pull off a sucessfull grow Al is the man,you can modify his grow methods to fit your needs too,there is way too much excellent information in this thread to be missed.

https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/6592-get-harvest-every-2-weeks.html

Every question you can ever have is answered in these threads,if you read them all,all the way through your head will be bursting with grow knowledge.

Well since I am in a tent, my veg and flower room are all rolled up into one. I will probably harvest this one and do maybe another couple of rounds to really get things down and then I will look into seperate rooms. The only thing is, I am doing this soley for personal consumption so I am not sure if I really need to seperate them. I just need to get good at getting maximum yields.
