Fingers crossed.
No need to tent them anymore I suppose.
I lightly watered the substrate before planting.

Also, pings require dormancy, are these too small to go dormant?

I change the photoperiod off my lights to more-or-less mimic daylight. Most of my Mexican pings put out succulent leaves in the winter. Some do it whenever they feel like it. If you're under lights, vary them by season. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about dormancy - they'll do it if they need it. My experience, anyhow.

As Robin Hood examined the small bag of plunder, he learned a Life Lesson: Never steal from the rich when they’re out walking the dog.
