Hello. First grow here. Ive got a bunch of seedlings heres the setup..
Solo cups filled with 90% coco 10% perlite.
I started seeds in paper towels with tap water (PPM 160 & smells like sulfer). Got above 90% germ rate threw them in the solo cups. I made the mistake of watering them with no nutes I put them in towels on day 1, day 3 they sprouted and I added first nutes on day 7 when they had about 2 sets of leaves. I am using Heavy 16 drain to waste.
So, so far.
I washed the coco to the right PH.
Days 1-7 No Nutes. Just Tap water with Hygrozyme (about 6ml per gallon.) Ph Balanced best I can with drop Ph tester buying electronic one withen 48 hrs. I watered them until they have runoff once a day. coco is staying moist.
Day 7 I noticed leaves were turning a little bit bright green on all seedlings. It was on the new leaves the old not pointy first leaves are still green. And there is a couple small yellow brownish spots on 5%-10% of seedlings.
Day 7 night time I gave reccommended 300PPM Heavy 16 feeding. 2ml per gallon B-52 from Advanced Nutrients and still the hygrozyme and ph tested. Temps in room have been 75-80 degrees from seed to this point and 24/7 light under approx 400Watt t-5 6 inches above leaves.
Day 8 night time I fed serving of 260 PPM Heavy 16, B-52, hygroenzyme.
Day 9 morning collected some rain water at 0 PPM I added 360PPM Heavy 16, B-52, Hydroenzyme and fed until run off.
Day 9 installed small fan blowing straight up bringing temp down to 70 degrees.
Leaves are still in same shape not getting better or worse from what I can tell.
What do I do now?
Im thinking of letting the coco dry out some cause Ive left it moist almost 24/7 and never let it dry completly could I be drowinging them? Let me know your thoughts on how to proceed. Do i need epsom salts possible Mag defficency?
Thanks in advance for help!

. Come to mention they actually arent looking that bad anymore I think they slowly are getting a better green color Ive been checking them so often it is hard to notice. And the biggest plant there broke out some yellow spots more recently so that was making me worried. What to do????? HMMM thanks for the input! Anyone else using coco now? any advice on how often I should water it like fully dry or leave it damp or a little bit of both.. Also should I feed everyday or feed,water etc Im thinking feed everyday with runoff and flush once in a while with rain water but I am a noobie advice appreciated. TY
