if you run hydro - have a backup, of everything
if not have a backup ballast and bulb
have a backup clone(x2) if you like it, if you are hunting, try and have 2 backups of every seed
i try not to make decisions to cull until ive seen a clone in flower, not just the first run from seed, excepting the outliers and obvious boys

IDK but 100% of the seeds kept in them didn't germ...
my pea brain says: dont store them in plastic again.

Plastic is usually not a barrier to the movement of moisture, so that is very good advice.

The best way to store seeds IMHO is together with silica gel, and a glass jar (kilner or mason - don't skimp too much!). Put the jars in the back/bottom of the fridge and disturb them as little as possible. They will last for years like this and decades if you are reasonably careful.

Warm/tepid water is great, but...
feeed flowering nutes in colder periods, phosphates will stimulate growth in colder weather.
Good idea, the bamboo and heat pad. luckily in my part of the world the weather isn't as severe

Nuke your coco-peat in microwave berfore re-hydrating with calcium, magnesium and boron. Helps to destroy any critters hibernating in your medium

I believe in aggressive topping, training(L.S.T) and defoliation especially in mid veg.
I try to create maximum no of bud sites and keep them on even level without a scrog net and defoliate from the bottom up.
Bud sites on lower extremes are deemed not worth the effort and sacrificed for nug size on upper cola's

Get pay as you go electricity with pre-paid cards and no one can track your use but you!
P.s plants need a wet and dry cycle, overwatering makes the roots "lazy".
Evidence of this during germination, when seed cracks allow your paper towel to get slightly
dry before wetting and watch the root tip grow

K.I.S.S - Keep it sweet and simple
Adhere to basic principles but don't overthink it!
It's a plant - needs: water, air, light and nutrients.

If you are comfortable in your grow space, so are your plants!
Pay attention to ph, have good light and air circulation, feed good nutes and it's pretty hard to fuck up!
Use lst, topping, fimming and defoliation to increase yields

Good trick with the wire!! Will definitely try that.
I screw self tapping screws around the top edge of my containers to act as anchors for L.S.T
