I usually use dry organic fertilzer blends like Espoma blends, happy frog, roots organics, etc. I go from solo cups to gallon containers where they finish sexing and I'll pick males during this time. To finish flower the gallons go into at least 5 gallon containers but I prefer 7 gallon containers. If I wasn't so confined in my vertical space I would probably go for 10s.
Drying and curing is best to be done in a nice slow manner. Don't be in a rush to dry and cure otherwise you'll end up with weed that looks good but smells like grass or hay. I buck all the fan leaves off at harvest and let the plant slow dry for 7 days or so down there in the crawlspace. No direct air blowing on it.
