Oh and I’m committing to the soil. I really like the organic side of it rather than synthetic nutes, not that there is anything wrong with them, I’m sure I have smoked pounds over it over the years.
Not saying I won’t change up once I have soil nailed.
Cheers

This could be handy for gauging moisture, just arrived so wouldn't have a clue if they're accurate but seems like a cool piece of gear
You might want some extra amendments to scratch into the top of the soil later down the track in flower just in case the soil runs out of steam.
I'm no soil expert but I'm not a big fan of Seasol or their powerfeed products for pots, firstly because you can literally smell strong ammonia as soon as you open the bottle. For some reason raises the water ph to like 9 for me and is full of salt because of the shitty seaweed they use. The charlie carp organic takes my ph down to 6.5 which is perfect, its probably got a fair chunk of sodium but atleast it doesn't mess with ph (although apparently true living soil doesn't need to be at a certain ph - assuming you actually have a healthy population of soil microbiota breaking your organics down and feeding the plants)
So if you're using seasol I'd piss it off and get either Charlie carp or that eco seaweed concentrate power that itchybro likes, or Seamungus by neutrog.
Neutrog does organic based Gyganic which seems pretty balanced npk wise, combine with seabird guano powder and a soil conditioner like Seamungus (contains humic acid which breaks the seabird guano down into bioavailable silica and calcium/phosphates)
Plants especially need more calcium and magnesium under led lights or else they go yellow
This stuff is great, crumbles up easy as and has all the goodies that gogo juice has plus nutes
Vegetable Bed Preparation (pre-plant): Apply Gyganic at 100g per square metre. Established vegetables: Apply 100g per square metre every 6-8 weeks during the growing period or as required.
