Is 75% Peat, 12% Vermiculite, 12% Perlite OK?

I'll be growing 10 autoflowering Dinafem OG Kush plants in 2-gallon containers and intend on using this soilless ratio.

I'd also be adding 2 tbsp. of dolomite lime per gallon of complete mix.

Does all of this look okay? My concerns are:

1. 75/12/12 Ratio of Peat/Vermiculite/Perlite, and:
2. Amount of dolomite per gallon of complete mix.

Does this look good for autoflowering plants? Hope to get some feedback.

Looks fine. What are you feeding them? This the medium, they still are gonna need food.

Thanks for the reply! Glad to see I got the lime ratio right, since I mixed it all up last night.

I'll be using a simple nutrient base, from the same brand. They have two different products called "FloralNova Grow" and "FloralNova Bloom". One is obviously for vegetative growth, the other for flowering. And they also have a product called "Liquid KoolBloom" which I'll add during flowering to hopefully get denser and bigger buds.

I want to keep things simple, which is why I have just the one for veg, one for flowering, and one for bud enhancement.

I'll start off at 1/4 dose and perhaps work my way up to 3/4 of a dose when the plants are larger. I understand that autos shouldn't be fertilized quite as much as other plants.

I hope that makes sense for nutrients? I just didn't want to overcomplicate things.
