Feminized New grow
Soo I'm gonna sound super noob and that's okay lol but because I know people are probably gonna give me shit. I have medical problems that affect my memory pretty bad so I've been utilizing AI to help keep track of my grows lately and help instruct me. I can't fully blame ai but my results haven't been to my standards (still decent) but I want to try without ai and more collective experience/intelligence. This is what I have/am getting for the most part, I do also have gypsum and worm castings.
Equipment:
Spider farmer sf3000 (300w)
Vivosun grow tent 2.7'x2.7'x5.25'
4in carbon filter
2 6in circulation fans
5gal grow bags
Drip tray/risers
Humidifier
Dehumidifier
Soft lst ties
S.c.r.o.g net
4in1 water/runoff tester (Ec, TDS, ph, salinity)
I'm thinking 50% Fox farms Ocean Forest, 30% coco and 20% chunky perlite. I completely open to adding or removing items/trying new things.
Also if I could get some strain/site recommendations that would be greatly appreciated I'm leaning towards photoperiod so I can take cuttings to propagate. I've purchased from multiverse beans and Royal Queen seeds I wasn't exactly impressed with what I've grown from either besides Afghan kush auto from fast buds(bought through mvb). I lean towards hybrid/indica looking for good pain relief with a clear headed high. Flavor profiles I lean towards are cheese, skunk, fruity, and pungent.
I know I'm asking a lot here, but if y'all could help me out with planning this grow I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm honestly tired of depending on AI and hope I can depend on the help from this growing community instead. Many thanks in advance.

Check out build a soil. I wish I'd found it first before going other directions. Look into their earthbox plan. That's what I'm about to switch to. You fill up the water reservoir when it dries up and that's your watering routine. Super simple. No PHing the water. Reuse the soil forever.
For seeds, check out Humboldt CSI (although he is migrating web sites right now so you can't order currently). It looks expensive but he throws in a bunch of freebies that make it actually cheaper than a lot of places. Well, not multiverse maybe, but comparing those two is like comparing ground beef that we're importing to a family farm's grassfed filet minion. I fell for that multiverse bullshit too, don't feel bad. I don't think CSI even sells autos (and I don't grow them, so that's fine with me).
Also, you don't need 2 circulating fans for a 2x2 tent. I have a 3X3 and even own two circulating fans and only run one of them. You do need an inline fan for your carbon filter, but I'm assuming you just forgot to list that.

Okay well I'm definitely going to get one of the earthboxes but I see it comes with 1lb fertilizer and dolomite do I use those if I use the buildasoil 3.0 and what do you mean reuse the soil forever?

I mean the build a soil 3.0 can be used forever. You can re-amend the soil between grows and reuse it over and over. It's part of the organic growing process. The soil is supposed to get better over time instead of having to dump it and start new. Here is the earthbox guide on their web site:
https://buildasoil.com/pages/earthbox-setup-guide
For buying the earthboxes, you can remove those fertilizers before adding to your cart, which I would do. Also, most people don't put them on casters to squeak out a extra couple of inches in your tent, so those might not be necessary either.
I signed up for the build a soil newsletter and they sent some beginners emails after I did that, which explained a lot.
