I am open to ANY suggestions, but please have some kind of background or experience with bulking nutrition!

Seems alright to me bro. Someone more knowledgeable than I am is bound to chime in pretty soon. But as stated above, you need to eat thats for sure. I would say that if you've figured your maintenance to be around 3000 calories then I would shoot for 3400-3500 on a consistent basis and then adjust from there...I saw where you said your daily calories would be anyfrom from 3100 to 3600 but I would THINK that 3400-3500 on a consistent basis to START with would be better.
