Looks good dude! I recently just discovered that medium your using really isn't considered "soil" it's more of a hydro type setup (same stuff I run, basically pro mix hp) and with that ph should be kept in that 5.5-6 range but with that dolomite it ll act as a buffer to help keep you in that optimal range for ph. Just don't reuse your medium between grows, I found that out the hard way
I find those domes more useful for cloning as I personally like my seedlings to come up in those jiffy pods (makes for easier transplant as it stays together better) plus I have a fan on em to help toughen them up so they don't flop over. Things look a little wet in your pics, I just spray the top until its moist and might do that a couple times a day. That limp one looks like a result of too much moisture in my opinion but I could be wrong. As for lights I hear the quality led s are pretty dang awesome but I run cfl s and t5s in veg( mixed spectrum) and hps in flower. With hps heat is always an issue especially if you don't have a ported and sealed light cover. I recently just switched from the parabolic reflector to the ported unit because of my heat issues. Try and shoot for that 25-30 degree range.... no higher! I run a perpetual set up with 2 rooms and it seems to work great. Throw a thermometer or digital recordable type one at canopy hight and watch for a reliable reading where it counts most, the Cola zone hahaha! Hope I didn't ramble on too much man, I tend to do that when I'm high,but i hope that helps in anyway. We re all here to help so keep them questions coming
