First 400w Armoire Grow SCROG Tips and advice Just planted in soil

I just started my first grow from bag seeds I'm still in the process of putting together my armoire, but i have pictures that i will attach. I have a 400CFM inline fan that is pushing the air over the bulb and I still have to create an exhaust hole out of the back. My fan is drawing air tom the top it is really the only good spot I could find to put it on the inside of the box.

The armoire itself measues about 21"D x 45"w x ~72"H. My plan is to cut through the middle shelf and expand the height of the grow chamber therefore I have space for a screen where the shelf originally was. I will also cut a passive intake in the back of the armoire in the bottom.

Humidity has been steadily above 40% and temperatures normally around 74 degrees F to 81F.

Pictures are attached.

The first germinated seed i planted i think i waited too long because the taproot grew to a long length and I believe I over watered it. I will attach a picture. The second one i planted immediately as it split and it has breached through the soil and it looks like it will sprout.

I just turned on the lights to a 18/6 cycle is this too early?

I'm also worried about the bends in my ducting will this inhibit the flow of air and is there a better way to do this?

Is the light too close to my newly planted seeds? I can't raise them anymore due to my adjustable hooks.

Any tips on how i should arrange my grow box and such?

PS: Sorry about the green bars with lights on. It messed with my phone camera

shorten up that exhaust ducting, and maybe find a way to get that light up another 4-5 inches....

i kept the ducting long so i would have enough room to lower it down eventually when i break through the bottom.

and i have no idea how to raise the light because it is secured with those hooks and i can't move them any higher

This is the first seed before i planted it. It might be a little tricky but you can see the taproot.

Why do so many people feel that they need to cover their sprouts with some sort of plastic?

I read to keep the humidity up for seeds that haven't sprouted it was getting in the low thirties. But I just took it off today I can now see two sets of leaves
