since it's bloom its probably something like 15-30-15, and yes you do need nutrients after the first month of veg, or when they start looking light green. feed with nutes high in nitrogen i use azalea nutes 30-10-10.

I'd wate till they are about a foot tall because when you change it to 12/12 then you'll have enough areas to tell if the plant is a male or female and you can intro duce food to them but you have to give them a very weak food mixture and read what your girls are telling you

its mostly up to you but I would use CFL to help pervent streching juring veg mode and you can have it closer to, my girls have doubled in side and the main stalk (the base) is abot 3 times thicker
