Advice please! White Widow in soiless project

[J2DAROC]

Hi, I'm starting a project with white widow clones in a 2 to 1 vermiculite perlite soiless. I have all the lighting worked out but I need to find the right nutes mix and concentrations in ppm to add to the soiless mix. I have Peters 20 20 20, lime, epsom salt and distilled water. Is this enough? And does size of pot matter in soiless? Can my babies get root bound in 1/2 gal. pots? My goal is for 6 wks. from clone to finish veg then 8 wks flower. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
I'v looked but not much info on soiless.

rootbound will slow growth. I like five gallon buckets.

Start off using small containers as small as two cups, then work your way up to a five U.S. gallon buckets per plant, by a series of transplanting. The point of this is to get a nice compact root ball.

afte reach transplant, there's usually a growth spurt because of the fresh nutes in the soil, being rootbound isn't always bad... the roots reach the bottom of the pot before they spread out

Lol, I didn't say it was a bad thing man. You see, when you start off in a small container, the plants grow nice tight compacted roots that totally spread out. If you were start a plant in a big container right from the start, the plant grow thick strong compacted roots, but small roots that that are too far spaced from each other that doesn't absorb nutrients as much as the compacted roots that I posted above and now again. Not too sound like a smart ass, but again I never said it was a bad thing, and also I'm the one that recommended this method.

Thanks! Soil and soiless are the same then in pot size requirement?
