Seedlings are taking off. Probably almost 2 inches now. New pics will be up this evening or early tomorrow.
Put them on an 18/6 light cycle now. Added a space heater to the veg area. In monitoring the temp and humidity with my Govee while at work I notice the temp drops a little more than I like (low 70's lights off) once the light cycling started.
Rotated pots a half turn just about every day as I noticed them leaning off to once direction.
Watering as needed just around the seedling. The soil around the outer area of pots are gring a little dry. Contemplating giving the whole pot a complete watering.

Noticed the seedlings are stretching a bit too much. I questioned myself several times as I watched them grow over the last 4 days... seeing this with other people's grows... reading forum responses..." you lights are too high". I was over cautious with this as my first grow experience.
My son verified my thoughts so I lowered my lights to about 7 inches from the tops of the seedlings.
I'm vegging under t5's. I'll give them a look tomorrow morning to make sure I'm not getting any leaf burn.

I was advised by a member over at Grasscity forums... thank you Organic Since... to mound up the soil around the stems to counter the stretch. I'll post after pics on the next weeks veg. calendar.
Continuing to water and doing foliage spraying with straight water as needed.
I'm currently keeping another diary here... link below.. with Californian Snow and another auto by FastBuds 420.
I've decided to keep separate dairies of each strain so I can focus and share the details of each strain independently.
I'll still update the original grow diary with both stains along with updating two strain specific diaries.
