First Grow in Over 10 Years (questions about coco coir)

Hey guys,

So I grew when I was younger, a decent amount, but good God is it a different game now.
Using LEDs to grow was either not around, or hadn't become mainstream, because when I learned that there were lights that removed the pain that is using HPS lights, I was stoked. haha. It was so awesome when I decided to do a grow again, to search Google for, "Roll It Up forum" and see this place pop up and be thriving!

Anyway, I've got some Amnesia Haze, Blueberry, and Northern Lights - all Autoflowering - all from ILGM (sorry if I'm allowed to name source.)
I've got a nice little tent, three chambers, however I'm not using the separator, instead I'll just be using the whole thing to start out. 1/2 way through this grow I'll throw up the divider and start another little crop. I'm hoping to begin perpetual harvesting again.
My seeds are just about done germinating, so I plan on putting them in their containers tomorrow- very excited!

Lights: 600watt LED
This will be my first time using Coco Coir - even though the medium I'm using isn't traditional coco.
Using Coco Loco (coco coir mix, kinda hybrid of coco and soil really)
I've always used fox farm (as you can see them in the background from my vegetable and fruit gardening.
However, I have several guys who grow for the dispensaries near me who swear by the Sensi Bloom by Advanced Nutrients - "perfect PH"
I think I'm going to give it a shot, or at least on a few of my girls just to see whats what.

Questions:
  • What temperature in the tent would be optimal for these autoflowers?
  • What would you guys recommend in terms of feeding schedule?
  • Recommendations for the cal-mag?
  • I know I'd normally need daily feedings and waters with cal-mag, but since coco loco isn't actually straight coco, I'm a bit concerned.
  • I have a nice temperature controlled. What is the best way to go about using it? I currently have a heater in there, intake is on 24/7, and exhaust is on 24/7 as well. So right now I just have the heater set, those both running, and I’m just having I hole temperature.. but because of that I’m not using the temperature controller. Should i use it? Or not?

Anyways, thanks in advance, fellas - happy to be back here.
