Temp sounds good. I like to use the bottom half of a water bottle as a humidity dome.

This is funny why? And OP - don’t place any kind of dome over seedlings. Bad advice there. Domes are for clones. Not for seedlings.

Yes, the inside cup is cut from too to bottom with scissors, then inside a uncut cup.. so at transplant time i can just peel it open. Did i get bad advice?

I won't use a dome, i was just about to.. but i trust ya.

Now im headed to hydro shop to get PH drops & ph up/down. I guess im supposed to ph my tap water before watering?

So long as there’s drainage. Roots sitting in soup not good.

Yo Dawg, or Sup Dawg, is an image macro series based on portrait shots of American hip hop artist Alvin Nathaniel Joiner,[10] better known by his stage name Xzibit, and humorous captions that are composed around the recursive phrasal template "Yo Dawg, I herd you like (noun X), so I put an (noun X) in your (noun Y) so you can (verb Z) while you (verb Z)." Since rising to popularity in early 2007, the series has been considered one of the most well-known and longest lasting examples of recursive humor on the Internet.

I didn't know that about seedlings. Thank you.

I've got 3-4 holes cut in the bottom of each cup. Should i make more?

You should remove from the cup the seedling cups are sitting in so they drain quickly.

Those cups? Just turn them upside down WITH YOUR HAND OVER THE OPENING and turn upside down. Tap the bottom hard to free if needed. The bagged ones transplanted yesterday afternoon and left outdoors in Alaska. They don’t need babying.
