Okay guys, I am very new to the cannabis scene but I learn really fast. I already know most of the growing info I'm going to need but I do however have a few questions I would love to have answered.

1. What does 20/20/20 in soil mean? (I was lead to believe its the soil:fert:sand/perlite ratio. Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
2. What is the best way to germinate a seed?
3. How big of a pot would I need to grow about a 4 or so foot plant?
4. The local shop around here has the following Plant Food/Fertilizers to choose from. Which should I go with?

Miracle-Gro, Bayer, and Ross.
Natural/Organic: Neptuneā??s Harvest, Glorious Gardens, Espoma, Ringer, and Bio-Green.
5. For the first few times should I invest in getting a HID/HPS lighting system or should I try a few times with other types then work my way into the more expensive lamps?
6. What's the easiest way to tell a female from a male?
7. Once the plant begins growing, what should I add to it along the time of it's life? As in, is there something I should do specially with adding fertilizers later or that sort of thing?
8. What is curing?
9. How are the "fruits" dried?
10. How badly is an odor controller needed? (As in would a fan do fine?)

Thanks ahead of time. Any help is greatly appreciated.
