If you start in small cups you can better manage the watering. In small cups, you can use a small amount of water. When the plants get a few large leaves you can up pot them into big pots. Good luck.
What can I do now to help them grow faster?I've never grown autos, but those plants look like they're about 2 days old. These plants were ten days old when the picture was taken:

Photo plants, BTW, should never be planted in an over-sized pot like that. That seems to be for autos only.
OK, that's bad. With cannabis, watering every day is over watering. You want to water and wet ALL THE SOIL in the pot. Then don't water again until the soil is mostly dry.What can I do now to help them grow faster?
Im watering every day right before lights go off, small amount, I would say around 250ml-500ml each plant
Thanks for the explanation!OK, that's bad. With cannabis, watering every day is over watering. You want to water and wet ALL THE SOIL in the pot. Then don't water again until the soil is mostly dry.
Cannabis plant roots like oxygen and water. In soil, when you water you are pushing out oxygen. That's OK, if you let the soil gradually dry and allow oxygen back in. But you are watering around the seedling every day, pushing out oxygen every day. The roots are stunted and will eventually rot and the seedlings will die.
Water correctly, then go and sin no more! It will take at least 5 days for tiny plants like that to need water again in those giant pots, likely more, but it depends on humidity.
IMO, I would wait a couple days then do a nice deep watering to restart your watering cycle correctly. Deep waterings rather than frequent waterings is what you want, as mentioned by mysticpipedon. Trixie is correct. Next time start them in Solo cups to keep the correct water ratios available to your seedling.Thanks for the explanation!
As I water with small amounts, every next day when I check the soil is dry on top and that's why I was thinking they need to be watered.
I will stop watering them then, and wait for 3-5 days.
Humidity is around 40-60% in each box.
Got it, will be waiting for the soil to dry out and then do deep watering.IMO, I would wait a couple days then do a nice deep watering to restart your watering cycle correctly.

There is a method many use to know when it's time to water. Before your next watering pick up the pot and see how it feels weight wise. After you water pick up the pot and note the weight. Doing this will tell you when it's time to water. When the pot is light time to water. Some like to wait until they start to see leaves droop but I don't like to wait that long and, IMO, it stresses the plants out.
Right now your seedling is using the energy the seed has to fuel it's growth but once the root structure develops a little more you're going to see some pretty impressive growth.
