HELP! New to Forum, could really use some help with Coco/Gaia Green dry amendments

Hey guys, first post here. Huge fan of the site and I want to start with a big thank you to the creator(s)
This is my second official grow and I decided to use for this grow as well as my last coco coir and gaia green dry amendments. From everywhere I have read and watched ( I try to emulated Mr Canukgrows methods ) I should be premixing my amendments. Well this is the second time my seedlings have gotten pretty bad nute burn. The one seemed to have shaken it now its looking super sad all of a sudden again. Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys!!
I did reuse my coco from last grow aget sifting out majority of roots.

RH is 50
Temp is 23-24c
Water is PH 6.2-6.8

Welcome to the grow forum i also dig watching his videos. And he burns his now and then also LOL. Anyhow as you see that's too hot a mix for young seedlings. So just wash out the soil pour 16oz of Ph clean water through them allow to dry, lift the pot feels light than just water no ferts/nutes for a week or so. Also in your posts tell us your lights and other enviornment your growing...tent, closet ;) :cool: have fun.
 
Thanks for the response! So you think the drooping on the larger plant is also nutrient related? I can never tell how much to water these when theyre so little. I am waiting until top 1/2 of coco is dry then giving a decent saturation and leave it for 1-2 days untill dry again.

I am running 2 philizon 1000w lights in and 80x80 tent! I built a small 2.5x2.5x4' in the crawl space and just upgraded to the bigger tent ( Fits perfect in my laundry room lol) Planning on using the smaller tent for a mother plant when I find my prized pheno
 
I think I have come to realize its lights burn. I added a second light (Philizon 1000w LED) to my new bigger tent and had them both at about 60% which I am thinking was just too much light for these little ones. I have them turned down to about 40% and 24" above.
 
Good move with the lights. I have a new light put into tent midway through photo grow, i'm learning with it distance wise won't know till i do a full seed to harvest with it so i understand what you see. Kinda hard to judge for me with pics my eyes have been abused.
 
The droopy leaves to me look like they have a little nitrogen toxicity. I used gaia green on one of my past grows and had a hard time figuring out how much to use. I'm not very fond of them. I feel like it's a crap shoot if you put in enough, too much or not enough. I switched back to liquid nutes.
You very well could have some light burn as well. 2 1000w lights put off a shit load of light.
 
You could be right , the mix is recycled from last grow with amendments to it. It is supposed to be slow release though? Not entirely sure what that means it does. Are the older fan leaves really dark? Theres definitely signs of some nute burn on both too.
