So here we go. I have a 6ft grow tent with meh circulation right now but I'm upgrading that soon. Starting an Auto Jack x Auto White Widow Fem and a Auto Blueberry x Auto Sweet Tooth Fem about 2 days apart right now. The Blueberry has yet to pop out of the ground but here's what the Jack looks like.
(day 1)
Currently under two LED lights from Taotronics 90w and a 125W, I'll be adding another 125W blue spectrum and a 50W later in my grow since the plants will take up enough space to make it worth it and I'll be able to hit more angles. I feel like the LEDs are well worth the money just looking at my last plant it was growing like a beast after I just added the 90W, but it ended up being male.
Let me know your thoughts on the strains and if anyone has had prior experience with autos, is 20/4 light a good amount? Are feminized autos worth it (these were free sample seeds) and what's your opinion on LEDs if you wanna give me opinions. Also, what mix of dirt/perlite should I use?
(Day 2)
Yeah I ordered potting soil should be here Tuesday. But I'm not going to "repot" them per say, I'm just going to take the peet they're in now remove the lining and just set them into a big pot of soil/perlite. So there should be very little if any trauma for them. I love LEDs and I've spent a pretty good amount of cash on them but compared to how much heat that even CFLs create they allow for a lot more light without having to go crazy with big fans.

You won't face that issue this time 
Whatever medium and nutes you used last time (FF 3 part perhaps?) would be good. Someone here is even growing in 100% perlite. 
So your mix probably doesn't matter much. A good % of perlite, or vermiculite, makes for a nice porous medium that handles over and under watering well. FWIW, I am using 40% FFOF, 40%FFHF and 20% vermiculite or perlite. I pretty much water every other day (I top 'em off a bit if they look droopy) with water that has a ph of 6.5-7 and add some FF nutes every other watering. But you should always check your medium before watering. 
If it's moist a few inches down, no need to water. The weather here has been so consistent, that it has just worked out to be every other day watering.
