Give them time but keep your light up to much light is not good for seedlings better to pop seed in and no lights the seed doesn’t require it to sprout .
They did better with it low ? You have confused me I’m sorry .
Dont know if this helps but,coco holds on to moisture for quite some time.At the seedling stage as soon as they have sprouted I feed in a pippette/droper and just around the stem (literally only a couple drops.) once everyday until they hit week 2 then il start feeding via a small jug and then not til runoff.Tbh my first feed to runoff only happens by the 3/4 true leaves or once i can tell shes allgood and happy.Sounds to me like u maybe over watering,worried about the RH etc.
U need to feed lightly from the moment they sprout,coco holds no nutrients so they need feed from the moment they sprout.But when they still sprouts they will eat very little,their roots are still developing etc.Id say for the first 2 weeks feed them with a dropper with a very light feed everyday(20mls or so)just around the stem.Dont water til runoff until 3/4 set of true leaves.Less is more at this stage.helps alot my biggest question is how much and when to water/feed..... particularly at this stage.
should i just use r/o water for the first two weeks or is a nutrient solution at 200ppm fine?
don't have any experience with plants at all.
sorry i meant to add the 20 mls is just a guide,use less on the first day(no sure what ur calmag values are) but make sure they in the feed,every feed and increase slightly everyday.also the light feed must be phd 5.8-6.2
also i bought a $20 digital ph meter and it was pretty bad so i've just been drop testing. looks like 6 exactly.boron till about 50ppm and calmag till about 130ppm and after following 1ml per litre guidline for the sensi NPKs about 210ppm
much better yeahHere's what they look like this morning after reducing my watering and raising the light to about 36"
3/4 seeds have sprouted.

when do i lower my LED? (Rated 1200W but is a cheap light off amazon and it's only in veg mode)
I wouldn't go to the 3 gallon for at least a month but you should transplant into a pot half way between what you're in and the 3 gal. In a week or 10 days go up a pot size to 1 gal for a couple - weeks then to the 3 gallon. Big pots and small plants make watering and feeding more difficult and a waste of nutes adding more humidity & waste water.also, i planned on moving them straight into their 3gall pots in which they'll be flowered, when exactly should I be considering that? I also have some 2 gal pots I haven't decided which to put them in.
They're regular seeds so i'm not planning on flowering 4 plants in my tent

Why is there water droplets on your leaves? Not good under light. let dry off before returning to the light. I only spray if they have bugs.
Not for led lights I use t5 Fluorescent for veg and hps to flower. I can keep the light as close as I want with with t5's (without touching ) and hps 18" - 2ft .Okay, was trying to avoid two transplants and didn't mind watering the larger pots but i'll get some 1 gallons.
understood, was doing my best not to get water on them but I wasn't careful this morning with my dripper/sprayer. Thank you for your advice. any input on my lighting? it's about 37" away for the tops of the plants and can only go up about another 2 inchs.
