Nutes for autoflowers?

Hey all, new to the forum and growing in general and want to start ten autoflowers outdoors. While waiting for the weather to change, I've bought soils and nutrients for my grow - such as FF Ocean Forest and Happy Frog potting soil, FF Big Bloom and Grow Big along with their Flower's Kiss as a foliar spray.

To ensure protection against pests, such as deer and small critters, I've purchased chicken wire to surround the plant.
& for insects like aphids, spider mites, gnats and budworms - Azamax and Thuricide (BT).

I intend to use a mixture of Azamax w/ FF Flower's Kiss as a foliar spray during vegetation and pre-flower. If needed, Thuricide (BT) will be applied as a foliar during flower to rid the plant of bud eating worms and moths.

Lastly, I've debated adding vermiculite to my soil mixture. Through online research, I read that vermiculite will allow the soil of the plant to retain water for a longer period of time. This would be great, as I'm planning to plant in 3.5 gallon Air Pots and check less frequently than usual.

For autos' feed very light. 450ppm burned mine nicely.
Probably just water for a few weeks.
I see on here all the time about FF being kind of hot for young plants. Maybe let it root in a solo cup with diluted soil.
idk about vermiculite and drainage so nothing to say there.
Watering a small plant in a large pot, you really have to be careful there. Everything ends up too wet and they damp off.
