I like that idea. You can always raise your nutes later. I suspect once your plants are really cooking adding a feeding may be a good idea, but don't hold me to that.
Its vital to watch your plants closely. Watch the leaf tips for nute burn. If you see any yellowing, AT ALL, it may be time for action. Some issues start weeks before they show up on the plant. A Magnesium deficiency is such an issue. Other issues... cupped or tacoed leaves, leaf tips pointing straight down, yellowing in the leaf margins, any changes could mean something suggnificant. On the flip side, one leaf that looks funky may not need any attention at all. People are always asking "whats wrong with my plant", when it may just be the plant being artistic. Haha. Point is, always watch them. Make sure the issue isnt spreading. A deficiency is best addressed with a foliar spray or two usually. Flushing a plant to get rid of nutes should happen every couple weeks... we can talk about that later.
You're doing great for a first season. Send pictures when you can.
I think I brought up Silica a little while ago... if you have the means, you may want to pick up a couple additives. Botanicare's Silica Blast is an easy Silica additive to use. Ph isn't an issue. If you were to use Gen Hydro's Armor Si Ph can be as high as 11. Some actually use that shit to raise Ph, but there are so many reasons not to do that.
The other additive is called Fulpower from Bioag, its a fulvic acid. This one helps chelate your nutrients so they are easy to pick up by your plants. When i flush plants because of salt build up or the plant is just a little mopey this stuff helps a ton. Its also super mellow
A rudimentary definition of chelate comes from Latin for "claw". Plants find it difficult, or even impossible, utilizing some elements that aren't chelated. Iron needs to be chelated for instance
