Dubious greenhouse grow ii

So I'm at it again, except I come into this years grow with exponentially more knowledge than the previous. I have taken 12 unknown bag seeds and used ye olde bag method for germination on Sunday the 6th, and all 12 had popped by Wednesday the 9th. Currently all twelve reside indoors next to a large window with plenty of sun, and ten have made there way up and out of the soil. Once they're a little more established they'll be upgraded to larger containers and put into the greenhouse. And so it begins!

Last grow I germinated 22 and only 6 were females-- I'm hoping for better odds this year. Here are some pics of last years grow:

Thanks guys. The last two have finally broken soil, but the cotyledons are just beginning to unfold-- they're growing so slow! All the others have begun their first sets of leaves. It's really not much to look at but I'll try and get some pics up of the starters later tonight.

It's been tough to get on here lately, but I got outside this morning and took some pics of the plants. I've been keeping them inside at night and putting them outside during the day for sun and the breeze. But after losing one yesterday, and another today, they have been set up in the greenhouse. One was definitely chewed up by a bug, and the other just completely disappeared-- roots and all, weird. I doubt the chewed one will make a come back but I'll give it a chance. There is a pic below.
On a more positive note, I also germinated two more seeds from some fantastic smoke from a few weeks ago-- I couldn't believe a found a few seeds in it! I don't know the strain but the smoke was very similar to lemon diesel (sweet and lemony), so I'm hopeful for a good grow with those two. So I lost two but gained two, so the count stays at 12 plants.
Still not much to look at but here are some pics. Happy growing people.

Thanks for the encouragement peeps. I bought some of the yellow fly traps and have found a few moths on them-- though I'm not sure if they'd even chew on a plant. I did find some slugs around the outside of the greenhouse under some containers. Since I ruined their home maybe some have managed to get into the greenhouse. I'll probably need to empty out the greenhouse and inspect each container in there for unwanted bugs. Would pill bugs be a possible culprit?
Last season I used spiders in the greenhouse (I know it's weird) as my natural pesticide and I had only almost no issues with bugs. Maybe I can get outside tomorrow and do a deep clean in the greenhouse-- I don't want to lose anymore plants!

i am not sure about the pillbugs.
but a small cup or bowl of beer in the green house will attract the slugs and they go in and die, i have it in my green house and have caught about 100 slugs in a few weeks, i also am letting the spiders make webs in the corners to catch the flys cuz they like it in there.
