From my side I would recommend going for the 30 FG gacha as a F2P player myself, at least as a start.
Once you get an army of 5*, I'd switch to the 50 FG ones.
Don't be too worried about 6* at the start, I've got my first one at 1+ year of playing.

Blooming and promotion should be left for when you're actually feeling wealthy enough to tackle it.
Promotion needs a lot of currency that you don't get quite often, so I'd stick with your favorite girl for this one.
As for blooming, some girls get quite a boost with their third ability, so you might want to concentrate on those, though in the end you don't lose much by just picking your favorite.

I don't know how far Nutaku has gotten with their updates, but I have a "good practice" concerning equipment seeds.
I amass them until an event with additional upgrade exp appears - then I use them all at once.
Last time I checked you can't get forge spirits out of the equipment gacha in Nutaku. Here you can.
I don't use any equipment as fuel for leveling other equipment pieces - in DMM you get enough forge spirits for all your leveling needs.
All the leftover equipment you won't be using can be reforged into bond crystals, which in turn can be used to buy commander medals, which then can be used to buy 5*+ gacha tickets.
Using those, you start gathering rainbow medals. 300 medals and you get a rainbow unit of your choice.
I would avoid using bond crystals/commander medals for anything else, unless you have a surplus of the first - you can get some 5* girls (not in the gacha, though weak) to fill up the team or anything else you need from that specific store.
The mentioned 5* girls can be fed equipment and skill blooms you get by using the special plant pots in your garden (the golden ones).

I'll add you as an ally in a moment.
Thank you and other people, who gave me a lot of usefull advices and added me as friend. So now i have some compilation about the account progress in dmm (maybe it shall be usefull to someone else).

1) about shop - life crystals - spend to 6* skills somedays. If i shall rarity up 5* , their skill will be redused to 1 anyway so i will need 2k LC for each one. I don't know if 30rarity up crystals discount worth 250 LC spent to 5* skillbloom, maybe no. I dislike ampies per 100 LC, bloom petals - i don't know what is better - LC vs 100k coins (no 100k option on nutaku unfortunately)
bond crystals - girls per 18k are too expencive to me so only options are cheap D medals and cheap 2-nd aff gifts, maybe expencive D medals if i have extra ones.
rainbow medals.... 100 d medals->5* guaranteed ticket-> repeat 300 times... it will take years to have a single 6*, so i'm gonna just forget about it. I guess that more productive way is play 30 FG gacha, add some d medals to have enough crystals, upgrade someone realy good, like Waterlilly or Anemone miko to 6*, max her skill for 2k LC, PROFIT.
d medals - guaranted 5* tickets with low chance for 6*, rarity up crystals, ampies
sun medals - before i could have at least 600k whale group only, option is bloom birds (on dmm i have 6k medals from the begining instead of nutaku, where i just started whale missions with 520k team, so i'm only planning to bloom first girl there - Primrose ), maybe some ampies/dragons if i will realy miss them. Then second aff heart (no need to buy them with LC). Accesoires are expencive so it's not for the beginners.
coins (only DMM) - 150k per 4* girl is useless, bloom petal per 100k is an option
2) exchange - almost non-existing on nutaku: exchange 3x5 lvl manyus to 20 lvl... how i miss it on nutaku when i'm forced to sell 5 lvl yellow/blue manyus from current event because the upgrade price at 30+lvl becomes too painfull, maybe copper forge spirits to silver/gold to save money.
accessoires seeds - play 100x gacha, keep +10 medium ones, exchange rest to bond crystals. What is item with anvil icon, exchangable with forge spirits?
3) FG - character/accessoires capacity if needed, spend rest to 30 fg gacha. Maybe after about 30-40 5* girls switch to 50 FG ones, cross fingers and pray for 6*.

About girls progression:
Level up at least 1 5* girl to lvl 70 evolved ASAP (80 bloomed later) - your helper squad max lvl is your girl max lvl.
Next goal - level up 20 5* girls (maybe with couple 4* if needed) to lvl 60, then evolve some of them untill you will have full group of 20 evolved 70 girls, during this process bloom 1 to lvl 80.
After that you may think about theme parties - like dodge/attack down/skill chance/crit and begin to bloom others.
First bloomed girl in my case will be Anemone miko - skill chance up, attack up, evasion seems to be fantastic abilities set.
Permanent event girls - Mountain Lilly is good, Edelweiss and Lavender both have good stats but terrible abilities. BTW, Edelweiss missions are very, very easy, even top ones, so every 1 week old account easy can have her. Geranium with skill up ability seems to be ok too. But in general they're much weaker then gacha 5* girls.
I found another interesting permanent event girl - Monotropastrum. Attack up, dodge, crit up - seems nice even unbloomed (i think that permanent event girls are too weak for bloom), but again she is pierce type like Mountain Lilly.

And for lvl up exp event - am i right that it is right now and will be finished 4.2.18 so i must upgrade everyone theese days?
About flower pots at my garden - is there any difference between different flower pots - 150k ones are for skillblooms for girls, buyable with bound stones , but what about others? BTW, there are 5 150k pots and 4 girls, what is 5-th for?
Wutan said that i must keep at least 10 keys from manyu mission. Is there some special missions for multiple keys? i have 120 of them and i don't know how.

In general, DMM is much more newbie friendly then nutaku - besides japaneese language.
