How much fertilizer should I buy?

[ThaiLEDGrower]

I'm planning to start a grow soon with 9x Skunk #1 in 2gal hempy buckets under 600w hps in a 4x4 grow tent. I decided to go with general hydroponics flora series and add nutes as per instructions on the bottle. The problem is I live in thailand and need to order from Europe which is pretty expensive and also takes time so I need to plan a bit in advance as I can't just get some new ones when I run out.

This will be my first hempy grow. When I read all the instructions and grow reports on the internet it sounds like I'm going to need quite a lot of nutrients. However, people say it's very economic. So if I get 1 Liter bottles of each, will it actually last me 2-3 grows? Or will I barely make one? Should I go with the 5 liter bottles right away? How long can I keep them without getting bad?

Those bottles are for treating more than 200 liters of water. Get two of each then, I have the same problem, it is an abysmal process to get decent hydro equipment where I live. If you grow gardens all the time, it should last 12 months.

depends on the soil. if you have a mixture with fertilizer in the soil you dont have to buy it for vegetation. you can use flowering fertilizers in bloom stage. and in the begin/cloning you can use rooting fertilziers. in the end you can use a booster or sweetness fertilizer for the flowers of the plant.

he needs to watch his pH and dial it in. with bloom boosting products he needs to watch his PPM

200 liters sounds like a lot but from what I read I get the impression that this will be about the amount of water I'll have to use per month with the hempy buckets for 9 plants. If I water each plant with 2 liters of water every 3 days, that's 180 liters. Sounds like I need a new set every 3-4 months.

I'm going to grow in hempy buckets with perlite/vermiculite mix, no soil. I wanna keep it simple so I'm not going to use any boosters for my first grow. Maybe I'll look into that later.

no listen its very simple you pour in 1 table spoon of rooting. Then you wait 3 weeks for the plant to grow. Then you switch off the lights to 12/12 then you give a booster with blooming stimulators once every 4 days. then at the last 3 weeks you give the sweetness fertilizers 4 times. last week you stop giving anything besides water. DONE
