New Grower NEED HELP: First time, big noob! Haha :)

[van]

So before I start with writing, I would like to say that Im not from England or America so my English is not going to be perfect, but I think you are going to understand me
So I got few questions.
I bought grow box (look at photos ) 250w HPS light, with an 100TT ventilation, PK 100 250m/h filter,... i would say its more than I need P.s.: Im going to use 18/6 ON/O (after you read whole article tell me suggestions for light cycle, which is the best one for my growing).
So I bought Lowryder #2 seeds-contains 3 seeds (Santa Maria x Lowryder) and they already germinated so I planted them into plastick cups for now. The light is around 30 cm away untill my LR grows little more so it will come closer to the light and than it will be on distance around 20cm (8inch)... Because somewhere Ive read that first few days light needs to be little more far away from cannabis and than after few days you put light closer (look photo of tabel for 250w HPS). Is untill now everything okei, or Im doing something wrong? If yes correct me please!

okei after few days when my plant will come out of the soil I will transplant them into new pots (3Liters-little less than 1 gallon) so my first question is when should I transplant my plant and where should I transplant it? is 3 liters pot enought or I need to buy bigger one?

My 2nd question:
I bought soil (Slovenian soil) Biorast which contains nutrients (N=100-200mg/Liter ///// P (P2O5)=150-300mg/Liter ///// K (K2O)=100-300mg/Liter ///// pH (0,1 nKCL)=6,0 - 7,0. So is this soil good enought for my young germinated plants? Can I use this soil after I transplant them into bigger pots?
I also bought Bio Bloom, what do you think about it? I was going to use it after the end of 2nd week, is that good? And is good to use Bio Bloom with this soil or should I wait little longer, like the end of 5th or 6th week and than use it? Because Im afraid of killing my plant with to much nutrients in soil + Bio Bloom... Or there is nothing to worry about because my soil is good enought and there is not much nutrients (NPK) in it?

I would be werry happy if someone expert with alot of experience could answer to all of this questions and also correct me if Im doing something wrong
You can also check photos down there THANK YOU!

hello bro. whats up? welcome aboard. someone will be along to help but in my opinion I would do away with transplanting and put them in there final spots now, that being at least 3 gallon pots. and I run my lights 24/0. just my opinion good luck my friend

Hmm isnt 3 gallong to big? okei Ill buy +3 gallon pots and Ill transplant them into bigger ones after 1 week is that okai?
hmm about 24/0 Im not sure because they need some dark time. Im thinking about 20/4, but some people say 18/6 some 20/4 and some 24/0

Hi van your English is very good. I'm American and mines terrible! lol I agree with faded that you should put your seeds in the final pots your using. autos just like it better that way. I think your going to do great and welcome !

 

[van]

Hello, my friend. I am close to the end of my first grow and I had never grown anything before. There are plenty of people here that will help along the way. It looks like that you have a good set up and are on your way. Below is a great thread to help get you started and give you some things to think about. I have used the tiered method to plant seeds, suggested in the link below, 5 times now and it has worked great for me.

I use 18 6 mostly for power reasons HID and temperature reasons. stable auto flowers will just flower . if i were using LED id 24 0 or 20 4

I really like they way my plants grow with 18 6

 

[van]

Im going to read it now!
Than for my first grow Ill use 18/6

Welcome to AFN.I would raise your light up to 60cm at first for seedling stage.You should have put germed seeds directly into there final pot like Faded said but too late now.Don't transplant until they have at least one true leaf.You could use bigger pots 2to3 gal but use what you have if you cant get bigger ones.Soil with nutes in it are not recommended but if that's all you can get use it but don't add other nutes for 2 or 3 weeks than start with a weak dose and raise it as plants get larger.Wait until they start flowering before you feed blomnutes.

Hello Van. Welcome.
It was explained to me that you want the tap root to dive deep quickly so starting with the deepest pot you will use makes sense. You will develop watering techniques to draw it down rather than have it sit wet and content up top.
