You need to do a lot more reading but youre in the right place for that. I got some tips for ya though.
Those peat pots arent very good. You need to figure out a lighting solution. If you plan on keeping those indoor youll need way more light. Floro tubes in t5 work good for veg and hps work good for flower. Yes theres leds out there that work but theyre pretty expensive and the cheap ones are junk. Id get a 400 w hps and make a bigger grow cab or get a tent to grow in if you want to make a stab at doing indoor.
The plants get big. Once you flip the lights to 12/12 and they flower, they get much bigger. Remember that.
Seedling starter mix has almost no food in it if it was labled seedling starter mix. If its just some dirt that youre calling seedling starter mix it may have some food in it.
If you want to do something with your males you can plant a male and a female in a small container, next to each other, outside. Youll get seeds on the female plant. Other than that you can eat the leaves in a salad, it wont get you high though.
As for fertilizer id just go with whatevers cheap for your first grow. Some people read for months and know what theyre doing right out of the gate and their first grow kicks ass. Im going to be honest, im a little worried about yours. Growing is taking care of the plants needs and letting the plant do the growing. Needs being light, temperature, air flow, food, root system, water, and all the little things youll learn eventually like trellising or staking. Once you have a plan for all of these things you can start crossing them off the list. Just remember to try and spend money on things that are important like light, pots, and soil. Those are the basic needs. Food, fans, timers, and all the other stuff can be cheaped out on but not the important stuff.

Normally I use 2 of those 4 bulb turkey tray fixtures for a 200w box.
