You are going to have to do some reading and studying on your own. We can help you, but we cannot lead you every step of the way. It is important that you find some GOOD information on cannabis, how it grows, the different life cycles, and what soil and nutrient requirements are. This is not like growing tomatoes or peppers--this can be hard. In other words, there IS a reason that cannabis is expensive. You are going to need at least a basic understanding of the plant and its needs.
Please try to stay away from all Miracle Grow products. It is not just that Miracle Grow is not right for plants, Monsanto has some real questionable practices and buying their products allows them to continue poisoning the earth and GMO'ing their seeds--not good things.
You will need good soil with no added food. Cannabis has needs different nutrients than other plants. You want to be able to control the nutrients that you give the plants. Ditto things like moisture crystals, that Rosebud has already mentioned and the reason why you don't want them.
Like Vostoc, I believe that getting quality genetics from a reputable dealer/breeder is worth the money. Bagseed is often the result of a plant selfing--not a good thing. This means that sometime during its lifetime, it develops male flowers in addition to female flowers ( a hermaphrodite). This is bad because you can end up with an entirely seeded plant. Not only do you end up with a whole lot less smokeable bud (75% of your bud weight can be seeds), but it is a PITA to clean and most of the plant energy goes into producing seeds, not THC and other good cannabinoids. Good genetics can be the difference between harvesting an ounce of seedy bud or several ounces of high quality dank. And seeds are not that expensive, in the entire scope of growing. And especially considering what you can get. Several ounces of great bud versus an ounce of seedy bud for $5-15.
As much as possible we will give you reasons for our advise. If you do not understand, please feel free to ask. Just the acronyms we use can be confusing. But to start you out. Let's find you some reading material. We have a thread somewhere with links to some very good books (I will look for it). You will ultimately make a lot of changes to your grows if you stick with it but you need a good foundation to build off of. Next, some good quality soil. Run it by the good people here and they will give you their opinion on the soil choice. Ditto nutrients. Cannabis needs to be fed on as regular basis. And it needs to be fed the right things for the life cycle it is in. We can suggest good nutrients. Decide if you want to grow organic or want to use synthetic nutrients. This will determine the soil and nutrients choices.
