First Time Grow with Gelato

It is very interesting to see the growth that happens seemingly overnight. I kept the seedlings watered as needed making sure that I wasn't over watering them. I have them on a 18/6 light schedule with the light turning off between noon and 6 pm. I moved them to a 5 gallon cloth pot all on 5/20. For the soil I am using Fox Farms Ocean Forest potting soil on the bottom half, the next quarter I used Whitney Farms organic potting soil and the top quarter is Coco-Loco potting mix. I also lightly blended the soils where they met. I was tempted to wait on the gelato, until the leaf tips were to the outside of the cow pots, but the tap root was pushing through the bottom so I moved it as well. Had an issue with heat in the dresser as the light was keeping it at 80 degrees at half power. I attempted to make venting but I couldn't figure out how to keep the light hidden so I scrapped it. I'm in the process of transferring the plants to a basement closet which is lined with cedar. I know the cedar will keep bugs out and I'm thinking it should help mute the smell but does anyone know if it will negatively effect them?
