Seedling from 50/50 FFoF + LW mix --> 80 FFoF / 20 LW?

Hey guys,

I have an auto blue diesel seedling about a week old that I planted into a party cup with 50/50 FFoF/LightWarrior.

My game of attack once I'm ready to transplant is this:

1.) Wait until root emerges from bottom holes of solo cup. Don't water seedling at least 24 hours prior to transplant.
2.) Fill up 5 gal pot with 80/20 FFoF/LightWarrior (don't have perlite, that will be for the next grow!)
3.) Create outline in soil in the 5 gal pot for the solo cup
4.) Remove seedling plant, soil and all completely intact and place lightly in cut-out in 5 gal pot
5.) Once having placed the plant/cup in the soil, remove the cup and lightly pack soil around the transplanted plant to create a uniform structure
6.) Water the transplanted plant and leave it alone for a few days

This will be my first time attempting a transplant. If you have any additional pointers/tips/corrections, please let me know.

Thanks! Hopefully this will help out other noobs as well.

NOTE: I'm considering in the future just planting my AFs directly in their final pots. Un-even watering doesn't seem terribly difficult to manage to me.

i would transplant it at around the 2 week mark so the roots aren't damaged pulling them back through the drain hole in the cup

80/20 should be fine at a few weeks old
