Bottom line: We're going to complete an ebb & flow system and need to know the nutrient calculation or better yet what nutrients are best and how to use per gallon of water. We'll be growing inside totally near a sunny window with lights. Vegetables will include lettuce, tomato, cucumber, squash, zuchini, peppers and beans. Very small number of each. Can we grow them all together using the same solution? (crossing fingers hoping so).

We have set up a system using clay pebbles and a water system that constantly runs. The only plant to take was a tomato plant which initially grew a lot of green but no flowers; we adjusted chemicals and received flowers but no fruit; adjusted chemicals again, got fruit but took forever for just one to ripen. I saw another one starting to ripen this morning, but it has been green for a few weeks.

I'm not opposed to using Miracle Grow, but I imagine we might need add something else?

I plan to start the seeds using the coffee filter method and once they reach a size big enough for me to see them once they are put in the pebbles they'll go in the system.

Thanks in advance!
