Generally yea! Tap water usually has to be pretty clean. If your in a rough area with old piping or if you notice scale on your showers n toilets it might be wise to go with distilled water, you can buy big jugs of it from grocery stores etc.-

I thought you couldn't use distilled water to water plants because it has nothing for the plants to absorb
It's a blank canvas for you to paint on
you add what they need, I think it's all ro water if I'm not mistaken, the stuff you can buy from the machines at grocery stores- Thread starter

Can you just put the fan into the top of tent and let it run just into the room? That's what I'm doing right now, no ducting needed .
Feed more nitrogen right now, NPK the first number lol potassium and phosphorus are more for bloom

They look great but you need a lite wind on them as well as a silica to add strength to your stem. It will let them hold more bud during flowering if it's a thin stem it's small buds
Definitely run the grow big first- usually your supposed to runnem in combination so it might be worth trying to find a feed schedule!
I'm unfamiliar with ff nutes, but usually you wanna start with your micro, then grow and add a tiny amount of bloom while they are in veg!
Just nabbed this off the fox farms site, id go quarter or half on what they say
Hope this helps!

Lol HortiShorti or KitasCountryRoots will be able to guide you on fox farm nute better than I can .
Sorry I'm late to this discussion! I run autos with those FF nutes so let me jump in. Big Bloom is basically a nute booster and not a nutrient so you can start that pretty high, like 2 tablespoons/gallon and work your way up to 4. That's TABLESPOONS! GrowBig you can start at 1/2 teaspoon/gallon and work your way up from there. I end up at 2 tsp/gallon until they plants are in true flower.
In flower I add Open Sesame (also FF), starting at 1/4 tsp and going to 1/2. And the TigerBloom I start around 1/2 tsp/gal and go up to 2 tsp/gal. FF recommends stopping the Open Sesame after a few weeks but I run it up to the chop.
Don't spend your money on bottled water, particularly not high pH water which will make it next to impossible for your plants to use the expensive nutes you're giving them. Your tap water is fine, and nutes will tend to lower it, particularly the TigerBloom. In terms of PPM, as long as you're starting with low doses and increasing them slowly you won't need a PPM meter until your midway into flower, and they're pretty cheap...under $20 from amazon.
Keep an eye on the leaves. They tell you when you're overdoing it on the nutes. Start low and go up a bit with each watering until you hit the max I listed.

I used the mute to the far left for the first time my buddy said I was supposed to use the one in the middle
MadDab gotchu DC. Little bit of nute burn. Dial them back a bit but don't sweat it. It's your first serious grow and it's a pretty small issue.
