Mad research, and this is my plan, seems to be working, opinions?

Well I am a new grower and noticed how much people love this hobby. Its really not about the money at all, I don't even smoke bud honestly, just love the passion behind it.

I have read many books from weedbible, to SOMA.

And this is my plan for my current grow. He/she is in its first week of vegetation and its going great. Its starting to grow its 3/4 leaves. Seams to be a sativa from the looks of it.

Anyways, I went out to the local hydroponics store and went shopping galore. Here is my setup so far:

2 Jack Horror/Maui wawi mix

Lights:
Vegetation period:
3x 26w CFL
24'' fluorescents (plant/day)
Flowering period:
3x 42w CFL
2x 26w CFL on each side of the plant(light up lower colas so I don't have to trim)

Soil:
Fox farm and I love it!
Hydroton to keep the air flowing!!

Temp:
69-80 degrees (night and day), humidity 40-60%

Nutes:
Vegetation:
Alg-a-mic Vitality booster
Nature's Nectar Nitrogen
Thrive alive B-1
pH level adjusted from 6.0-6.5
---I will feed every 2-3 days, but since I transplanted into a bigger pot (2.5gallon), it seems as though I have to soil feed because I will stick my finger in the soil and its bone dry.

QUESTION: ANYBODY HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF LITERS THEY WOULD FEED, ESTIMATED!??

Also, I WANTED TO PURCHASE SOME ROOT STIMULATOR BUT MY GUY TOLD ME THE ALG-A-MIC, or the THRIVE ALIVE WOULD BE PERFECT FOR THE STIMULATION. WHICH ONE WOULD YOU GUYS USE??? THIS IS ONLY WHENEVER I TRANSPLANT TO KEEP THE ROOTS HEALTHY AND NOT IN SHOCK.

Flowering:
7 gallon pot
Botanicare Pure Blen Pro
Alg-a-mic Vitality booster
The Guano Company
pH adjusted between 6.0-6.5
Foliar feed twice a week whenever needed
DynaGrow Neem Oil (just incase there are bugs but doubt since its in my closet, but you never know!)

Cloning:
Botanicare Power clone
Humidity dome with heated pad
3x 26w CFL
Fox Farm soil
Clone cubes

So what do you guys think? I think I went a little overkill on the products but I want my plants to look sexy! I have heard many stories here on GS that people over Nute the plants so they die, but I will make sure I dont. Through my Veg, and Flowering I will just feed water, feeding nutes will be definitely watched over.

i think I am on a good start, this is my first time growing and I am taking great notes on what NOT to do the next time. Can anybody give me some tips and their opinions please, it will be greatly appreciated! I don't give a f*ck even if it's bad opinions, I want it all!

I would water 1 L every 5 days in a 2.5 gallon... you should get some runoff to test ph. Use SuperThrive, found at almost any store that has a gardening area. It has vitamins and hormones for root growth.

man good job on researching before starting up,
your not gonna have as many problems as usual noobs do.
especially if you keep reading up in the city.
but one thing
about root developement......
If you want to transplant and not have much shock.....
Get CFL's with WARM WHITE spectrum.
I was using these along with my regular lights during transplant,
and there was little to no stress at all.
pretty much warm white spectrum promotes root growth so it would definately help.
They are good rooting clones to..
