About 5 days from sprouting, how is everything looking?

I got all the seeds I listed before sprouted using the paper towel germination method. Then as my mentor told me I put them all in solo cups, poked 2 pencil sized holes in the bottom. I water them daily because the soil is usually dry enough within a day. My temps remain from 72-85 degress night and day, I am doing them on an 18/6 light pattern. The humidity usually is 40-50% in there. To accomplish this I have a drain dish with a paper towel in it that when I water my plants, I put them on top of that and let them drain into it to keep it moisturized that way I can always keep it at a nice humidity in there. I also have a small fan in there blowing on them.
These are all auto feminised seeds so I am doing all I can to keep them from getting stressed.
Thoughts so far?

more light is needed. Don't water them daily. Top soil dries fast. Water them every 3-4 days.

Personal preference. I start my plants under MH, never had any problems. They don't need that much light but I don't have any other fixtures so that's what I do. I'd say a week or so into veg would be a good time.

Well, my MH light bulb was dead on arrival. Is it cool to grow automatics purely under a HPS?
Yes. You should be able to do treat your autos like photos in most ways (except light period of course). As I mentioned in another post, I put an auto in with my photo grow and it has performed like a champ. Same nutes, and she had to go from 18/6 to 12/12 with my photos and didn't show any signs of stress... There are many growers that veg and flower with sodium. You should be good. Good luck!
