Thanks for the tips and all the warm welcomes! I actually did start my girls in the small 2-1/2" clay pots like Smokey used (it was coincidence, it's what I had), then transplanted when they had roots hanging out of the hole in the bottom. Now I wish I had taken pics of them. I used the pots to make impressions in their new containers, as was suggested to Smokey, then popped the plants out by pushing with the back of a pen, also as suggested to Smokey. Worked like a charm, and I didn't see any evidence of shock after I dropped them in. The only seed I planted directly into its pot was the boy that I terminated last night, and that was just an experiment. I didn't put much effort into him
I will definitely fill the containers all the way up next time. I want to get the nursery pots that aren't tapered down instead of these houseplant pots.
This is how Handy Dandy 1 looked directly after transplanting.
I do have airflow, but I can find a bigger fan if need be. What do you think?
Here's how Chillin2 looks this morning after doing the LST on it last night.
Your fan looks good (to me at least, If I'm wrong, someone will let you know) but you want to get it blowing between the plant tops and the lights to help get rid of any heat as has been explained to me by these "most awesome" people! I'm so glad your journal is going so well! Like I said, the folks around these here parts are "most excellent"!
