Also, growth after healing will be slow as they will be under lights in my cooler basement, so I feel better giving them at least four weeks before up-potting. Once potted up, it will have warmed up and they tend to take off pretty quickly, especially with the massive root systems they develop while growing in DE.
How does this look now for approximate times?
Seed to Germination - 1 week
Germination to Grafting - 4 weeks
Healing Chamber - 1+ weeks
Growth to Up-potting - 4 weeks
Up-potting to Hardening - 2 weeks
Hardening to Plant out - 1 week

I also think your time line is overextended.
Most conventional non grafting is 6-8 weeks from sowing to plant out. That also include hardening off.
Since grafting slows down growth, I will add 2 weeks to compensate foor that. So then 8 to 10 weeks sounds good to me.
my grafted plant is not that far behind its non grafted counter part (Ananas Noire ). It is almost the same height but the stem is not as thick. But it is moving and pushing the tube open.
