Wow guys, I'm so stoked. I've been absorbing tons of information and after weeks of waiting on various things my seeds are in the soil. I soaked them in water overnight. The lighter circle of soil in the center is just a top core of light warrior for the seedlings. I'm running ocean forest and although I've read that for the most part it wont burn seedlings, I wanted to be safe. These are all autos and I'm running at 20/4.
Strains (ALL AUTOS)
2x Seedman - White Widow
2x Greenhouse Seed Co. - King Kush CBD
2x AutoSeed - Candy Kush
Gear, Soil, Nutes
Tent: Apollo 60"x60"x80"
Lights: 2x ViparSpectra 300w LED on 20/4 cycle
Pots: Smart Pots
Exhaust Fan: 8" Hurricane on Active Air controller
Scrubber: 8" iPower
Soil: FoxFarm Ocean Forest (tiny core of light warrior at top/center for seedlings)
Nutes: FoxFarm Trio (for now), Advanced Nutrients Organic Super Tea, CalMag
Current Stats
Water PPM: Kinetico Filtered Tap 6
Soil PH: 6.4
Temp: High 82°, low 74°
Humidity: Hight 68%, low 61%
Cost
Just shy of $900 including seeds and ALL knick-knack items like light hangers, zip ties, extension cords, everything.
I'm going to try to read the plants and apply nutes when they want it. I plan to takes pics along the way. The most common theme I've read with people starting is folks loving their plants to death. I nearly went down that path with a giant complicated list of nutrients, schedules, etc. I've read that ocean forest will sustain them for a few weeks at a minimum so I'm only going to water for awhile.
I realize my space is horribly under-utilized however I plan to grow only a few cycles of photos or autos during the year while pumping out tomatoes, berries, herbs, etc. year-round. I started with autos thinking it was the best for a newbie however recently I learned of the 12/12 approach on photos so I think at a minimum I'll go that route next round. I've learned so much on this forum, thanks a ton for the time you've put into providing answers and feedback to folks like me.
Well, what do you guys think?
Thanks!!

Looking good, will be looking forward to see how it pans out for you as I am gonna make the jump to LED one day when finances permit. Happy growing 
I would watch out for the lights you have as they may well be too close for starting....
