The Trials and Tribulations of a noob.

Hello everyone, I want to share with you all my little indoor medicinal/therapeutic garden that I started a couple weeks ago!
I started growing just over a year ago due to high cost and low quality available at the dispo. So far I've had a number of successful auto flower grows, but as the saying goes "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut here and there!". That is to say, I still have a lot to learn and I have also stunted a few plants. This is my first time growing photoperiods, so this is going to be a learning experience!

Setup:
Light: Spider Farmer G5000 480w
Grow Medium: Recycled Royal Gold Tupur amended with 7-7-2 and 4-6-3, and dolomite Ag Lime.
Nutes: Earth Juice Sugar Peak Transition, as well as the OG Earth Juice Grow and Bloom. Earth Juice Oilycann calmag.

Genetics:
3 of the plants are from Serious Seeds: Seriotica, AK47, Double Dutch.
The last plant is Bloodmoon, a freebie from Multiverse Beans. The Bloodmoon is bringing up the rear because my Serious Seeds bubblegum died shortly after germination so I figured I would try out the Bloodmoon, why not?

Thanks for posting friend. I'm interested in how the 7-7-2 and 4-6-3, will work. I'm riding with you.
 
Thank you for the support friends!

Ah yes, so there is a little bit a story behind that. Originally 10 gallons of medium had 4-6-3 that I had been using for autoflowers but I ran out of 4-6-3. My local nursery had a killer deal on 30 pounds of 7-7-2 so I scooped that up. I wasn't sure if the coco that had been sitting with amendments would have been getting "hot." So I ended up mixing the unused 4-6-3 amended coco with my remaining 10 gallons of coco to make the 20 gallons needed for this grow. Then I added the 7-7-2 for good measure.

Long story story, it was kinda unintentional and there is no ryhme or reason.
 
We have some growing pains already, looks like magnesium deficiency to me. I thought the lime I added in would handle the cal and mag but it seems like it's not quite ready yet. I brewed up some sheep manure tea and added some cal mag to feed the girls tonight, the tent is smelling like a barn yard at the moment...
