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.
 
okay cut it into squares that will fit in your grow bag. also do you have anything to check the ph or to adjust it?
 
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.
 
post the directions of your fertalizers your using and ill tell you what to do. and did you cut the coir to fit in the bag?
 
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.

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.

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.
 
Thank you guys...actually this post was put up before I started germination. The fact is, I've been doing nothing but reading since I got this kit.

but thanks for laughing at me anyway.
 
Panhead - I really appreciate the links. Some of it I've read, but I am going to definitely go through it all again.
 
go to my journal man, I have a list of books u can read, and if u use torrents at all you can have that library in about an hour.

I have some ??? in my journal if anyone wants to throw some info in there.
 
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.
