    yeah I had aphids too here are some more focused pics of my problem...

I'm using an HPS...

    *first ever grow day 8* how does she look?

    you should poke enough holes to let the water drain I'd say like a dozen.... As to transplanting it.... I'd get the fan first so the plant has some time to strengthen it's stock....
