So i picked up some FTS Flaming Lips TC via CCCP. looking for some pointers.

My plan is to keep them domed in my sun room in bight indirect light for a week then move out side to bright indirect light and start venting over another week to lower humidity.

Personally, I would keep them indoors where you can control the environment better until they have developed roots and are functioning at normal humidity. I am by no means an expert, but when I deflasked my pings, I kept them bagged for 2 weeks only opening the bags every couple of days to refresh the air. Then I took another two weeks to acclimate them to their growing humidity. Then acclimate them to the outdoors and full sun.
