@Brccovi you are on the right track. Just don't treat your coco mix like soil when watering. What are you feeding, liquid nutes?
 
Yes it is 70/30. Thought coco coir was the best for Cannabis plants. What should i do now?
You should keep calm and carry on. If you're using liquid nutes, water/feed SLOWLY at least once per day no exceptions until you see about 10% come out the bottom of the pot. Start feeding now.

Crash course in how to grow coco.
You do not have a lot of time.
Coco is just different but it takes some work.
Coco is inert and can come precharged and loaded or bare and needs treated.
Coco water is never just water. Coco is normally inert and every bit of nutrition must be in the water.
Most run coco by slowly adding water until it drained out the bottom stopping at about 10% of the volume of water added. At this point you measure the strength of the nutrients and see if it is using nutrients, hoarding nutrients, or well balanced.
You will need tool to do this and not cheap 29.95 sets for pH and EC/PPM or you can try running naked with no tools using a nutrient line that has a good grow chart that you can follow.
I do not think you did enough research on this type of growing.
The coly leafs are the only nutrition and will not last long.

You can't over water 70/30 coco perlite unless you pack it down really tightly. It's molecular structure allows for plenty of air to be still trapped inside. Letting it dry back for fear of over watering will do more harm than good.

Start feeding half of the recommended amount of whatever you have every day.
 
And it is ready for (I only grow in coco) some nutes. I allow mine 7 days of just water from seed pop then I begin 1/2 strength hydro nutes, 3 times a day with 10-20% runoff and the plants cannot sit in the runoff water. At around 3 weeks I up it to 3/4 strength.

There's a wealth of knowledge on these pages. Do a search of coco coir growing and dig in. It took me several months and I asked a lot of questions before switching to coco and after 6+ years I'm sticking with coco.

The only negatives with coco growing are the numbers of waterings (fertigations, actually, as every time there's nutrients mixed in) and dealing with the waste water.

Auto watering can be set up to allow one to leave the house🀣 and some type of storage of the waste water that can be pumped out with a sump pump to do it automatically into the soil, i.e. grass, flower beds, trees, or even the sewer. If drained into the yard use a hose that you can move around. Too much of the runoff in one spot can cause problems to other plants and/or trees. Sewer (house drain) can be best for indoor grows.

So, if you haven't thought about watering (fertigating) properly you need figure that out very soon. Until then use tap water that should have some calcium to keep the little ones going and keep that coco WET. Never allow the coco to dry out.

You got a lot of homework to doπŸ˜‰
 
look my guy, scrap this thread and start over on the coco side of things... you'll be better off, I like soil because there's more of it here. I can make my foot print a little garden of Eden while doing what I love. I do use coco but not for growing, even though I should..
living soil guys are different. It all starts from seed.
good luck!

I use a soil but not just any soil, it's a coco and peat blend. Don't give me that sideways glance I didn't put it together, EB Stone did. It's great stuff but you have to be familiar with the nuances of both coco AND peat or else the soil will fight you every step of the way, from shelving to bad CEC to alkaline spikes. The plus side is I'm not fertigating multiple times a day, the downside it's a hybrid soil and because of the funky behavior of both coco and peat, It's a soil that doesn't do well with normal drybacks.
 
More reason i will never use coco, its a lot to take a crash course in days. If i was new and used coco as you did here, i would take a risk and go grab a bag of happy frog and trans plant the seedlings carefully into a new pot using the happy frog soil mix. Soil is a easier medium to understand than coco for first time growers.

I have done it before with seedling on my first grow when I used the wrong soil for my seedlings. Its can be done but is a little risky. When i did mine transplant i was generous with how wide i went around the plant when I scopped as to not damaed what roots i had. Plant survived, I just had everything prepared so I i had to do was place it in the pot scoop and all.

You're way overthinking it, they look fine. Let them grow. You're gonna be a wreck by the time veg is done! As was said above, don't go changing things, I've seen more plants killed by kindness than neglect!!! BTW, do not put a humidity dome on a seedling, it's an open invitation to damping off disease. Silly rabbit, domes are for clones!
 
Update :) Growing really fast atm
