Mixed Bouquet: A Little of Everything!

OK, The first week of vegetation is here. So 5 of the 6 seeds sprouted from the rooter cubes. The Barney's Farm Watermelon Zkittles did not pop ground and after 3 days I soaked a new one and now have a small spout. It kind of stinks its close to a week behind the rest but glad to have all 6 onboard for the grow. Once the seeds sprouted from cubes after a day or two I transplanted into 3 gallon fabric pots with Fox Farm Ocean Forest. I hear mixed opinions about transplanting. When I put these cubes in medium they have few of any roots exposed yet. I am doing it early on purpose just in case and benign coco rooters help with how hot Fox Farm soil is with seedlings. I initially used the clear cups they soaked in as humidity domes and once a little taller switch to larger domes. I will keep these on for a week or so until they are sturdier. I have two plants not in this journal in tent in finals days of flower so I don't want to bump up my humidity in tent too much and using domes to help compensate. I go in daily and using a large squirt bottle, spray around the plant trying to put more water away from center of plants for their roots to grow out and seek water. I will be giving water only for first 3 weeks. My well water usually reads in around 6.5 or so. I don't PH the water until I start using nutrients around week 4. I will start watering whole pots in about a week or so instead of using bottle. I plan to top all of them around day 18. I will use tomato clips around that time to start some LST and get them growing out not up. I am not after monsters here. I want 6 well formed plants with goal of 2-3 oz yield per plant so I am going to be lollipopping, LST and defoliation in effort to get a nice manageable tent. My first documented grow here I had only 3 plants in same size tent in 5 gallon pots and it was a jungle. So reducing pot size and increasing my LST skills will be needed to make this one work. Well anyway, we are off and I am excited that all 6 are above ground now. If you are wondering about weird light schedule, I am having heat issues and by 10 am my tent is +85. With two plants in late flower, I kill lights at 10 and can't get away with lights back on till 6. I prefer a 20/4 if heat wasn't an issue. As soon as those two flowering plants are pulled, the light schedule will increase as vegging plants can handle the heat better. Thanks for following along!
