Northern Lights auto, "Heidi," is 2 weeks old today, and Bubble Gum Auto, "Hannah," is one week old, so here's an update. They've been outside until yesterday. We're having a cold snap, so i brought my bucket garden inside the attic. I hung two 65w QB's over the 2 most important plants (NL and BG). The light on the right is an HLG65, the one on the left is Yuson 1000W. Both lights burn 65w of power and look almost identical, except the Yuson has some red LED's. Both lights are at 20" for the last 24 hours. I was scared to go closer lest the babies get a sunburn.

Here's Bubble Gum Auto "Hannah" at day 7:
Outside temp was 41°F this morning, but the the plants in the attic only got down to 61°F, and RH 60. The girls will stay inside until Monday when night time temps are forecast to stay above 50°F. I also started a Purple Kush, but she hasn't broken the surface yet. She soaked for 18 hours, and was in a wet paper towel for a couple days. She cracked open enough to see the root ready to bust out. She stalled there for 12 hours, and I was nervous about mold, so I put her 1/2" deep in 3GL of damp soil mix in her permanent home (a milk crate lined with burlap). I snagged a roll of cheap landscape fabric from home depot to line the next milk crate when I'm ready to start another plant. Next in the lineup will be ILGM Gold Leaf Auto. I'll report again next week. Thanks for the tips that got us this far. Any advice will be greatly appreciated! I thought the milk crates were my idea, but i see that @MudmanCultivation is more O.G. than me and did it first. Kudos!
