Hey 1stGrow, I'm here checking out your progress and have a few things I think may help you for the future based on my current 1st grow experience.
First, I think the next time you start some seedling your should leave them under the T5 until they are at least through the seedling phase and into early veg (at least 4ish nodes). I think between the temp issues and the light variation and strength you have most likely stunted them a few times (I made similar mistakes on my current first grow).
Second, for the amount of $ you spent to make a humidifier you could have purchased a tent which would help with humidity levels and to stabilize the temperature a little. If you have the $ I would definitely recommend you look at purchasing a tent.
Lastly, it you are going to continue to use tap water don't assume the pH will always be the same. Tap water pH will vary so just always make sure to pH and also look into calcium lock-up issues now that you are working with coco - you will need to compensate for this medium change with increased CalMag (most likely).
Good job so far! It looks like similar to me you have made mistakes but have also been able to fix those mistakes and learn from them. Happy growing!

.... but if they are, in my opinion(and what I have seen people saying around here) they are not supposed to be like that so early in the grow... Hopefully I'm just blind
