Seeds all germinate, but don't sprout when planted?

You can top a auto but wait till it's abit older. Or you don't have to and just LST it at about 30days by 6wks mine are generally beginning to flower. But for your first time i'd leave them alone and just observe and keep healthy. Practice on photoperiods with the heavy training until your more comfortable that's my thoughts but you do what you feel like.
 
Today is day 25 since sprouting (~28 from seed), and 2 of the 3 plants seem to be doing well. These are Tanya (Auto Tangerine) and Betty (Auto Bruce Banner)

They both are working on their sixth node.

They are in 3-gallon pots of Coco/perlite, and I'm now wondering if I should have used 5 gallon, and if I should expect to transplant them again?

Blanca (Auto White Widow) has recovered somewhat, but is still showing brown spots on some leaves, which I think is Ca-deficiency and or too-high pH.

I'm giving CalMag foliar spray (to all three plants) and raised the pH of the nutes from 6.0 to 6.4.

No i would not do a transplant the 3gal work fine don't mess with the roots now. Those front 2 look great and you don't want to cause a accident to the roots now. I've grown many a auto in 3gal fabric without any real issues. The roots will adhere to the fabric you'll see when you remove the plant from the pot after harvest but the fabric breaths and roots may poke out and be air pruned that's the beauty of these fabric pots. Next time when you grow try a 5gal bigger roots bigger fruits.

I decided to try some very mild LST on Tanya, since she is the tallest. I put one tie around her stem near the top, and another pulling the other way, a few nodes down. I gradually tightened these over 2 days - you can see the bend in her main stem here. I'll keep gradually bending her down, a little bit each day.​

Betty and Tanya (autos) are growing really fast now - and some of the early leaves are now hidden by the newer leaves, and not getting as much light.

Would it be a good idea to, some time soon, remove some of the lower leaves that are in shade?

Update: 4/18/24, Day 32.

All three plants are looking good, although Blanca (the one I dropped as a seedling, and has CalMag deficiency, in back of tent) is still much smaller.

I'm now feeding EC 1300 (Fox Farms Big Bloom and Grow Big, plus CalMag, pH ~6.2), thinking of going up a bit in strength, maybe to EC1500 (note this is uS/cm, equal to 1.5 mS/cm).

I've been doing LST on Tanya (front left), pulling down a stem now and then, but leaving Betty (front right) alone - you can see she's now a bit taller. No sign of flowering yet.

These plants are quite dense - I wonder if that is a good thing? I've been keeping the light at 80%, 20/4 schedule, about 18" above the canopy (AC Infinity IonBoard S33 LED light, 240W). I've also been doing a very light pruning, a leaf or two every day or two.

Raise the small plant to the level of the larger ones so that they're all getting the same amount of light and give the plant a chance to catch up.
 
Believe or not I planted seeds and they didnt come up for almost a month some seeds go when their ready I plant my seeds right in the pot I'm growing in I put the seed in the soil it doesn't matter how you put it in the soil as long as it's not to deep I hit it with spring water and it usually comes up with in a week or less and seeds don't need light they just need to be warm .it seems to be the best way for me I even think the plants are stronger then the plants that use the paper towel method don't trying to tell you how to grow .I'm just telling you how I do it . And I'm always successful goodluck and just make sure you keep the soil moist for your seed.
