Very First Hydronponic Grow - Need Advice

Hi guys, first post here and I am feeling a little overwhelmed with all the info, great site though. I have just been given a Hydropnic set up from a friend who has had to move away.

Setup includes two 400w lights, resorvoir, grow tray with pump underneath that sits on top of the reservoir, a big bag of coco fibre and the pots for planting in.


Question 1
How high within the pots do I need to fill with the coco fibre and what preperation needs to be done to the coco fibre before planting the germinated seeds?
Question 2
What is the best distance to keep the 2 lights above the plants?
Question 3
The pump below the grow tray is a MaxiJet 1000l/h, how many times a day should I water and for how long?
Question 4
I was thinking of buying feminized autoflowering seeds, is this a good idea ? If no then what do you reccomend ?

Thanks in advance and I will document my first grow here in the forum, so please feel free to give me more tips and advice as I go along.

Mat
