KRYPTON's Outdoor Grow (Needs Help)

This is my first grow so I thought I would get some opinions / advice. I might make this a journal if there is enough interest.

OK, so here is where we are:
There are 11 plants total of bagseed genetics, all still in seedling stage.
First I stuck 2 germinated seeds each in little flower pots, and have given them attention since day one. As they became seedlings, For a little bit they were getting 10-11 hours of direct sunlight. I let them go a night in 45 degree weather and checked them the next morning and they actually seemed to have a bit of considerable growth overnight. The next night (last night) however, was to get to 37 degrees fahrenheit so I decided to take them indoors.

At about 9:15 this morning, it rose to 41 degrees and cloudy, and decided to move them back outdoors. The high today is supposed to be 59.

The other 9 plants were from 10 seeds I stuck in a tray and forgot about. After checking back last night after a few weeks, I saw 9 little seedlings. I transplanted 2 into a 3-gallon pot and I'm going to kill the worst looking one after a while and keep them there throughout their life. Another one I transplanted into a little cup. When it gets the size of the cup I am going to have to transplant it again. The 6 in the tray right now are fighting for space so I plan on transplanting them as quick as possible.

This grow was a little unwell planned at this point since I have no soil or pots. The soil I used right now is an unknown organic soil I had laying around from a tomato grow last year. I may scrap a few of these plants since I plan on planting until June anyways. I've been wanting to keep a few autoflowers in pots because they flower quicker, and there is going to be a month I most likely won't be able to tend to my plants at all (as I will be on the whole other side of the country) I have to keep this grow outdoors as much as I can as I'd prefer my housemates not to know about them, but if the weather is too cold today I can move them in. There really isn't even any sun, just cloud, so I'm not sure if I am harming them more than doing good.

1st & 2nd pic: These are the two that I babied.

3rd pic: This was the 1st plant I transplanted from the tray.

4th pic: These are the other 2 that I transplanted from the tray. I think I shocked the one on the right because the leaves weren't all deformed like that until I transplanted it.

5th pic: This is the dirty six here still in the tray. I'll be transplanting them soon. Probably will just keep the best growing 2 or 3.

Looks like your trying too hard put them in a single cup that is not transparent..and let the soil dry all the way before you water them again the roots need 02 but by all means keep them inside in front of a window until the outside temps are a bit more stable good luck hope it helps
keep on growin

It can be hard to properly organize a grow, especially when you're busy...
those are all very small, here's what I have to suggest
-each plant in individual cups (as mentioned above, not clear container), I'm using red party cups for my seedlings this year.
-I don't know what those temperatures are in celsius, but if it is too cold you could put them on your windowsill for a week or so. While they are that small, light is not terribly important compared to having room for roots, water and temperature (You DO need enough to prevent stretching however). it is not until the 2nd or 3rd week of growth when you have several nodes that you should be worried about feeding and perfect light.

Things aren't looking so good. I left the plants in for a few days and decided to take them back out yesterday.

Now I knew their pots weren't completely dry but they were pretty dry, so I thought they'd be able to take a little rain even though they didn't need it. Everyone says cannabis is a real hardy plant.

They all seem to be showing signs of overwatering. The plants I left in the tray are all laying on their sides but the rest seem like they can pull through however. Temps are supposed to be real warm tonight then real cold (high of 79, low of 36) and more rain by 11, plus more rain in 2 days. To add insult to injury, the ground was a big puddle of water where the plants were.

Next year I am going to keep a note to self and not bother until the 2nd week of May. Thinking about just ripping the lain-over plants and starting more within the next week or two.
