I’m growing in coco . Third week. I’m feeding them with Fox farms food every four days. They are yellowish not green. What should I do?

Hello...Can you give us a little more info? Please give us the details about your grow. How much are you feeding at a time? Your medium looks a little dry. Coco should never be dry and should be moist, not wet or soaking. Do you monitor PH or EC? Are you running straight coco? Do you supplement with Cal/mag? You coco needs it. What kind of light are you using?
Generally, a light lime green color is an indicator the plant is not getting enough nutrients. But without more information its hard to say with any certainty.

Could it be over-watered or under-watered? It reminds me of this picture on this page showing an overwatered seedling. But I also saw an underwatered seedling that looked almost exactly the same on that page.
If you look at the examples they seem to think a seedling your size need 3-4 cups (750 mL to 1 liter) of water every few days. So if you've been giving more or less than that, maybe it's possibly caused by watering?
Also, are you using the hydro version of Fox Farm since you're in coco? And have you been checking the ph of your water? The pH being off can cause nutrient deficiencies even if you're giving the right nutrients. I learned that one the hard way!

I second @golfnrl and @Ckbrew's comments! Are you growing straight, 100% coco coir? I honestly have never heard of anyone doing so. Usually, growers use 70/30 or 50/50 coco/perlite. If 100% coco, you need to add a CalMag supplement and proerly adjust pH pretty quick. The cation exchange capacity of 100% unbuffered coco will wreak havoc on your plants.
Simple to fix, though. A common new grower error. You are still learning (as we all are).
