You won't find the best supplies there. But if you must.....Miracle Grow Organic Mix and if yer lucky and live somewhere besides New England, maybe ProMix.

Home Depot carries ProMix HP and sometime Sunshine #4. Go with one of those for the dirt. Home Depot also carries GH grow/bloom/micro so you're set there or see if they have Maxi Grow and MaxiBloom.
If you can find it they might have smaller packages of Peters/Scotts 5-50-17/20-20-20/10-30-20 which can be used to growing and I know a few guys over the years that did pretty good using Peters/Scotts powdered food.

Probably not, but easier for me to get the stuff at Home Depot / Lowes then a Hydro store.

Is Alaska Fish Fertilizer a good vegetative fertilizer?
It's 5-1-1 ratio, should the P&k be a little higher or no?

I put a drop or two in a pint of water and shake well. I water with this combo in veg. Seems; to be enough for the vegging cycle.

I use home depot, here is my soil recipe:
One 3.8 cbf bale of peat
One bag of compost, whatever they have, I use locally made compost they sell there.
3 bags of MG perlite
4 cups espoma pelletized lime
2 cups espoma plantone
The 5-1-1 works fine for veg, it's a little hot so go easy on it till you get a feel.
The bloom booster made by them also works well it's 0-10-10, I like to use a little more nitrogen early in flower so I use a little of the fish emulsion first month of flower then cut all nitrogen off.
I didn't buy it at home depot but I supplement all this with maxi-crop and some age old grow/bloom if I have them around. I have done full grows though with the above and they went great.

Use Blood Meal at time of transplant. It's 10-0-0 so good for veg. Use their recommended rate which, if memory serves me right, is 1 teaspoon per square foot. You can add the bone meal once they start flowering.

Theres nothing I can feed with during flower at home depot besides bone/blood meal meal?
Yes, they sell other chemical fertilizers that will work. Far as I know the Miracle Grow Organics are the only organic fertilizers they sell. Look at tomato or African Violet fertilizers, I believe they are higher in P and K and should work. Personally, I'm 100% organic.
Let me give you a the best soil medium at home depot, mix has been used for over 12 years... don't buy it all because I need it as well hehe
first I used gh 3 part with this soil i have gotten almost 3lb under 1k using this.
https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=15179&pictureid=314197 lambert buy it if you can, you can add perlite but you don't have to. easy as pie
keep it simple and green.
