Brent,
I know you are fussy when it comes to ferts, but would appreciate any insight wrt my regime.

Did you miss my posts above? The use of 10-52-10 and 0-10-10 as transplant fertilizers has been conclusively shown to be another myth.
I have no problem with your cultural procedure, it is pretty much what I recommend. You want to give your plants the optimum amount of light considering that light=heat, and that you have to account for transpiration in an impaired root system.
