Does it take strength only about a week to increase? And if I can't lift the weight I was using a few hours earlier, thats good, yes? Just rest until the day after tomorrow or whatever.
I'm weak as shit and I need to start increasing my strength. I will work on the muscle building as planned but I need strength as well.

Takes 48 hours to recover as a noob. Yes you'll get stronger. Google supercompensation.

I currently do not have a rack/bench.
I have a barbell and a ton of plates.
I need to work on my mobility and whatnot for squats. But in the meantime, is this enough?:
OHP
Deadlift
Curls
Skull Crushers
Bent Over Rows
Floor Press

That's fine.
See about some front squats or plate squats (grab a plate and squat), too. The movement is important. If you're doing heavy deads, the weight of your squats isn't as important.

I have no problem doing squats, if I do them right.
Problem is my mobility/flexibility is shit. And I don't even know if my form is right to begin with.
I feel an overstretch, kinda, in my upper thigh at the top. To a slight discomfort.
Not to mention, I lean forward way to much, I'm not exactly "squatting". My ass ends up being way too high in the air.

oh and how many sets/reps for strength starting out, and how much weight to start with for each?

Video yourself and look at the recording, easiest way if you have no one to form check

Keep in mind when you switch from floor press to bench press you'll probably need to knock off like 20 pounds on the lift.

For strength its like 4-6x4-6 and hypertrophy 3x8-12 iirc.

From my knowledge as a swimming Coach and a bodybuilder, generally the fast improvements that you see are your CNS adapting to do the motion more effectively. Your muscles actually don't get stronger for quite a long period of time, 6 weeks or so.
