First Time Grower, Am I Doing This Rite?

Hello there :) I have obtained most of the information from this site & have done a TON of research on growing cannabis, After doing all this & getting most of the supplies I need I would like someone who knows & has grown cannabis before to make sure I am doing this rite.

I will list off the basic info for my indoor setup.

Soil: All Purpose soil Mixed with Perlite & some Organic peat moss & 1/4 of an inch of fish aquarium rocks on the very bottum, Tested with ph strips & its at 7 (neutral)

Light: I am using CFL as a light source, I currently have the 125w Mini Dual Spectrum Lotus for both Veg & bloom 2100k & 6500k with 9500 Lumens. I plan on also buying the Apollo Horticulture 125W 2100k with 6100 Lumens for a total of 15600 Lumens for the Bloom.

Space: Inside a 2 1/2 Foot tall, 1 Foot wide & 2 1/2 ft long box for stealth, When the plants get bigger I can upgrade the box to a 3 1/2 tall, 1 1/2 wide & 4 ft long box. My only problem I have run into is the space size, I plan on blooming early to prevent the plants from getting too tall.

Seed type: Unknown.

Ventilation: I have a Fan attached to the box that pushes fresh air in & a filter on the other side where it leaves.

Timer: I have the timer on 20/4 , I read that its good to give the plants a break from light so im not doing the 24/0

Nutes: The only nutes in my area is Miracle grow but I heard its harsh by some people & by others I read that it does good, I am going to use it for the veg stage as I have already bought it, I am going to order Jack's Classic Blossum Booster from online which I heard works really well for blooming.

Water: Filtered tap water

Misc: I lined the inside of the box with tinfoil for extra light.

Amount of plants: It all depends on which sex they are, I have 9 that have sprouted, I want at least 4.

Pot size: 6 inch Dia x 5.39 in Hi

Questions:
when I switch the nutes from veg to bloom do I need to change soil or can it be flushed?
How much light do I need for 3-6 plants that will get up to 3 feet tall? (guessing the amount of females)
Will I need to upgrade the pot size for 3 foot tall plants?
Am I doing everything rite? & is there anything I am missing?
Any advice?

Thank you for your time & I hope I was thorough enough for you to answer my questions & give advice for this setup :)

When I started this I had no idea it takes this much work to grow these! LOL, I literally thought I could just plant it in any soil & basically leave it to grow with like any plant light haha. Good thing I read up on this first.
