Planted seeds after germinating in water for ~30hrs

0900 Soil around seeds is still moist. A/C is on and temp @79, at 10AM closer to 76, 53%RH.
Lights are set to 40% of max (~200W)
Soil pH is low, 5.4-5.7
1130 Watered & moistened the top of all pots. They seemed mostly dry.
I need bigger pot drainage dishes, these don't fit the pots sufficiently.

Notes to self
1) Ensure a better environment and closer condition (temp, RH) management for the early stages of growth.
2) Lights on over night to help keep heat down during the day
3) No more than 4 7-gallon plants at once. Do 3 next time.
4) Next grow only do one strain. Minimize the number of variables/uncertainties.
5) Don't start LST so early, get better vertical growth first.
6) Don't be so eager to clip off leaves, let them yellow and wither first.
