Ok, ive made up my mind, i will Plant them later in the 3 Gallon Final pot and put the outdoors on the roof. and as Happyman420 Said will water them throughly to insure no airpockets. and see what happens. Will come back to give Results.
I'm going to recommend a different method. At such a young age the shock of going outdoors into that heat will kill them for sure. IMO wrapping them in plastic bags is just going to make it worse. You are best getting these little ones rooted and to at least the first set of true leaves before they spend full days in the sun. At the seedling stage they don't need a lot of sunlight, they are still growing off of the nutrients in the seed.

Get the sprouted seeds into the soil as stated above but I would go to a solo cup instead as that is all they need until the third node.

Plant them in the solo cupa and let them go in a bright window for a week, after that put them outdoors in a SHADED area, only 4 hours or so of direct light for a week. Then remove the shade.

I personally do not like the idea of creating a closed environment for seedlings, especially in your heat. Let them breathe, air movement aides in developing strong stalks.

Just my 0.02

ok What i did is planted them in the Pots and let them in a shaded area on the Roof and 3 Hours of direct sunlight a day, and they sprouted all 5 of them and look Healthy,i guess i will be doing this for 1 Week and a half then put them in 5+ Hours of Sunlight a Day and when its starting to Flower i will just leave them there 12 Hours Sunlight so basically i will just leave them in direct sunlight 12 hours a day and just water them any advice is Welcome

Being a first time cannabis grower and being a first time plant grower are two very different things. When one says that he/she is a "first time grower" it is generally (and reasonably, I might add) assumed that that the speaker has at least germinated some sort of seed in their life time. This is clearly not the case here. I would advise you to stop spending your money on high end seeds and spend some money on books about plants first. It will save you a lot of time, money and heartache in the long run. Another good piece of advice that I can provide is to try growing some tomatoes. Tomatoes are very similar to cannabis in a lot of ways and can teach a new or aspiring grower a great many things about growing plants in general, and specifically about cannabis. Anything you can apply to growing tomatoes you can generally apply to growing cannabis. I would also like to add that the answer to every question you have asked and every problem you have had are on other forums in sticky posts right here on this very website...just saying.

You mean the Medical Marijuana Grower's Bible by Jorge Cervantez? I once Oned a copy of that myself. That really is a great book for beginners and experst alike. I'm not really a Jorge fan boy like some growers I have met, but that book really is the most complete single volume I have seen. Cherish it and read it 1000 times. You then won't have any choice but to grow big buds...no really, once you learn how you have no choice...you must grow. Its something of an addiction I warn you!

I have to agree with this. I find that the growing process is very therapeutic in it's own right. Once you have an understanding of the plant it's hard not to have a fruitful harvest.
