All sounds good, you could probably skip the rockwool cubes and go straight to dirt once they germinate though. The light will be fine, but keep it a good few feet above them, and I'd use a humidity dome the first few days. Once they go into the dirt, you can put the light on 24 hours. Distilled water is fine, pot likes slightly acidic water- 6.2-6.8 is ideal for soil. Rockwool is slightly lower, and hydro is lower still.

ffof is better for flowering and happy frog is good for veg. If you are going to use ffof don't feed them for 4 weeks, because they have enough organis nutes to get by for 4 weeks. Also when you do decide to add nutes start off with 1/4 tsp to let your babies adjust the up it 1/4 every watering until to reach 1 teaspoon.
