1st kush grow.. advice needed.

this will be my first grow. i have 4 oj kush seeds but i want to plant them 1 at a time so i can perfect it and learn more. i know most of the basics and know about mj itself but i want to be positive on stuff.
im looking to do a organic soil, 90w LED or 50w High Powered LED panel, inside a big metal cabinet w/ ventilation, and draining.
i assume it isnt autoflowering since its a sativa
my predicament: what is the normal light timing schedule w/ LEDs (18/12?), when do i start the light time transition, what week does flowering begin, and on what week do i start depleting minerals. im trying to get a round about time of how long this takes
im thinking 6.8(or 5.8 cant remember) pH lvl for the water, but idk what nutrients to add either and measurements
sorry this is so lengthy, but i want it to be good make it better as i continue to grow

Read more before you plant your seeds. There is a lot more to learn, so learn up on it before you even put those in soil.
This will save you from wasting the seeds you have

when flowering begins is a pretty basic thing...... it happens when you change to a 12/12 light schedule...

You'll probably get more responses in the newbie central forum. You really do have to read, the last thing you want to do is take advice from anyone, including me, and apply it without a general understanding about how to grow or why you're doing what someone told you do. Good luck!

I would recommend going to the book store and buying a Marijuana Grower's bible. It is pact full of knowledge and will have all the basics that you will need to understand. It is also broken down simply and easy to understand. When I started growing I picked up the Marijuana Grower's Bible by Jorge Cervantes. While later I found it lacking, in the beginning it was great because it walks you through each step and explains the pro's and con's of whatever you may do or gear you may use.

If you pick up the Jorge book, also pick up the Complete Natural Gardener, Teaming with Microbes, Botany for Gardeners..... there is a bunch of stuff. Remember its still a plant, not some super plant, it needs what basic plants need. So use Jorge to figure out how to flower and what temps need to be and all that, but use actual plant books for the rest of the info.

I agree with jelmo. Jorge's book is a good place to start, but it gives you the basics. Once you get those, you will want to move on to more advanced stuff. Just don't overwhelm yourself. While it is easy to kill your plants if you aren't doing it right, your ladies are still just... well weed. It will grow for the most part in whatever you put it in. You can further experiment and add stuff that you think will be beneficial as you learn more.
