First grow - Autoflower - Nutrient ?'s - Grow Log

Hey there... I've set up my first grow and am getting ready to actually put some seeds in the "ground". I have come up with what I think is a good schedule and I'd like some people to tell me how terrible it is, lol.

This is from my grow log at Grow Blog | Log for my first grow ...Thanks!


Alright so, I've decided to go auto flower for a few reasons on the first grow. Mainly because I might need that bedroom in 3-4 months, hehe. I have a few dif strains but the breeder info all says 75 day from seed and 60-65 days after germination. So I have based my schedule off this time frame combined with various info and advice I've found on auto flowers.
I'm actually going to just use the FFOF with just PH'd water in a few plants, others will have FFOF and a diluted version of this schedule, and others will be on Advanced Mix 4 with full on feedings.

I know already that when it comes to nutrients its best to go from experience rather than some chart. But since I have 0 experience, I've combined all the info I've gathered with a feeding chart to give myself a basic outline to work from. So without further adieu...
*Using GH Flora Series. Nutrient amounts are in ml/gal. All water and nute mixes are PH'd(not sure if using filtered or distilled yet). Light cycle is 18/6 start to finish.

• Seeds go in saturated Jiffy pellets in humidity dome
• After 2-3 days later - Turn on T5 light (good height for light?)
• Water as needed over next 5-7 days
• Once seedlings are looking healthy, transfer to 4" pots that contain the Black Gold mix. If possible, keep in humidity dome.
• Water once after transfer, saturating potting mix.
• 2-3 days later when it needs water again, feed:
  
  • 1ml Rapid Start
  • 1ml Diamond Nectar
  • 2ml Flora Blend
  
  
• 2-3 days later - Feed same mix as above. Remove T5 and turn on 400w @ 4ft above plants.
• 2-3 days later - Water as needed
• 2-3 days later - Transfer to 3 gallon Air-Pots. Lower 400w to 2ft above plants. And feed Week 1 from FS chart:
  
  • 1ml FloraGro
  • 2ml FloraMicro
  • 1ml FloraBloom
  • 2.5ml Rapid Start
  • 2.5ml Diamond Nectar
  • 1ml Floralicious Plus
  • 5ml Flora Blend
  
  
• 2-3 days later - Feed same mix as above
• 2-3 days later - Give water only

At this point we should be right around 2 weeks(12-18 days) after germination. From here I change the schedule to weekly and try to feed 3 times per week, in a cycle of: Nute Mix, Nute Mix, Water Only...

• Start of Week 3: (it's Week 2 from the FS chart)
  
  • 5ml Gro
  • 4ml Micro
  • 1ml Bloom
  • 2.5ml Rapid
  • 5ml Diamond
  • 1ml Plus
  • 5ml Blend
  
  
• Week 4: (Week 3 from chart)
  
  • 5ml Gro
  • 5ml Micro
  • 2.5ml Bloom
  • 2.5ml Rapid
  • 5ml Diamond
  • 1ml Plus
  • 5ml Blend
  
  
• Week 5: (Week 4 from chart)

  • 4ml Bloom
  • 1ml Rapid
  • 2.5ml Diamond
