Another question, I live on old Indian farm land that's so fertile, literally EVERYTHING I've ever planted out there grows stupendously. Think it'd be a good idea to dig up some soil and plant in that?

if you want the exact feeding schedule i use here it is:
VEG
1st 2-3 weeks h2o only (ph'd to 6.4)
feeding 1 5ml grow big(gb) 5ml liquid karma(lk) per1 gal h2o (ph 6.4)
feeding 2 5 ml gb 5ml lk 4ml thrive alive green(ta) per 1 gal h2o (ph 6.4)
feeding 3 h2o (ph 6.4)
feeding 4 10 ml gb 5ml lk 8ml ta per 1 gal h2o (ph 6.4)
feeding 5 15ml gb 10ml lk per 1 gal h2o (ph 6.4)
feeding 6 h2o (ph 6.4)
feeding 7 15ml gb 8ml ta per 1 gal h2o(ph 6.4)
feeding 8 same as feeding 5
feeding 9 h2o (ph 6.4)
feeding 10 same as feeding 7
feeding 11 same as feeding 5
carry on this way as long as you want to veg.
BLOOM(from the day you switch to 12/12 lighting)
feeding 1 10ml gb 5ml tiger bloom(tb) 10 ml lk 30ml big bloom(bb)
per gal h2o (ph 6.4)
feeding 2 5ml gb 5ml tb 8ml ta 30ml bb per gal h2o (ph 6.4)
feeding 3 h2o (ph 6.4)
feeding 4 10 ml tb 10ml lk 60ml bb per gal h2o (ph 6.4)
feeding 5 10ml tb 8ml ta 60ml bb per gal h2o (ph 6.4)
at this point watch closely for burnt leaf tips. if you see them back off on the tiger bloom a little. if you don't see any you can increase it(tb) to 15ml/gal and alternate the lk and ta every feeding always using 60ml bb/gal. make sure you give only h20 every third feeding and if you see burnt tips. 2 weeks prior to harvest flush with h20 using 2x the capacity of the pot the plant is in. example: plant in 5gal pot is flushed with 10gal h2o. you can also use clearex in the h2o when flushing. for the final 2 weeks give h2o only.
about the dayton being overkill, the 465 might be but a smaller 1 would do you well. you are not gonna have any luck growing at 93 degrees. the ideal temp with lights on is 72-75 imo. sure a plant will do ok with temps in the low 80's but you wouldn't believe the difference in growth rate and trichome production if the temps are kept to the low 70's. with a 400hps/mh your gonna want alot of ventillation to achieve proper temps.
lastly don't use dirt you dig up outside! you don't know what your bringing in to your growspace! could be pests or even chemical contaminnants. it would be much better/safer to use a product like promix or sunshine mix.
good luck and feel free to ask any more questions you have
