I took @TDubWilly advice and have been doing the candle stick method and I’m getting explosive growth…
Lights on from 6 pm to 6 am
Lights on 11 am to 1 pm … that’s the candle stick… 
I like to give 2 hours versus 1 , just to make sure they stay in vegg…

Just my 2 cents here. I found that my seedlings really did not grow well under the blurple lights. I switched to a 6500k cfl and noticed significant improvement in growth.

I actually only have the lights on in the “short period” for About 25 minutes and never had them try and flower on me but I think when you actually look up the “gas lantern” lighting schedule it recommends to do exactly what you are doing @peachfuzz
It definately saves some money on lighting in the veg stage

She may pull thru… tough ladies. Just be as gentle and possible. And are u just removing that thin screen thing? Not sure u have to remove the whole peat pod

You want to try to avoid damaging the main taproot. Sometimes they don’t recover from that and it definitely slows them down. Not a big deal with a photo but is with autos. I would score the outside of the peat pellets with a utility knife before transplanting into media.
