Im actually doing a similar grow, though i dont have a current journal. I actually forgot about my seeds in the paper towel because ive been so busy but when i checked them, they cleared their shells completely. ever since, ive been wondering what would happen if i grew only in that medium and supplemented with nutes and a lil peroxide to keep bacteria and mold down. just a thought. great looking so far, keep it up. subbed.
oh yeah, with the clear pots, some duct tape or anything to cover it that isnt white should be fine. ive used guerilla tape to cover mine. and just another tip from a pc grower, start lst early. the low height and light fixtures causes my plants to dwarf. so far ive only had males (bagseed) but tallest was only about 9 inches with no training while the trained plant i guestimate at about a foot and half and bushy with heavy lst.
