Over watering problems

Good day to all
Hi guys im a newbie grower from south africa.
I've been realy strugling with my watering and im realy trying hard I've read your instuction over and over and its realy the best advice i could get on the web just want to say thanks you guys are the bomb 👍okay be4 i started i realy did read everything to make sure i dont make huge mistakes my seedlings are droopy i over watered them early but stil looks healthy .
In the begining i watered them until i got around about 20 persent runof but i didnt wait long enough befor watering again top soil was dry but inside it was stil very moist. Understanding my mistakes i started waiting longer . . What i do now is i take a wooden pick and stick in the soil to show how moist it is and when its almost dry i water again and not alot i use a spray bottol just to get it moist with no run of water im not using any nutrients at this stage but some of plants are stil drooping and very bad and it makes my heart sore. . Dont know if its maybe my soil that keeps on being moist to long for seedlings.
I mixed my soil following
20l perlite 20 l vermiculite almost half brick coco beat with 30 litter soil think i was wrong there . . Im growing in my closet. .
Ps guys please if my speling is bad im sorry im afrikaans but im trying my best lol
Okay to my grow closet
I have 3 rooms flowering veg and clone or mother not sure for what il use it now im only germating and trying to get them watering right
I updated my box with more lights my veg room runs with 3 45wat cfl cool white and 3 20 watts and i have a metal alide 250 watt but i only run it at night when the aircon is on and i have good ventilation aswel 150mm extrector puling 3rooms im flower room as a 400watt led hope i get to flowering . . . Then 1 last thing i dont know if its right or not i toke my droopy plants outside to c if the sun can pick up the leaves if it was good for them or not the pics i toke are fresh after day in the sun. Hope i did what you guys ask for if needed more pics just tell me .

Once a seed sprouts, it needs to dry out. I never mist/spray/humidity dome seeds and usually no water is needed for 4-7 days.

I Would move the lights up a bit, stop spraying and keep a light breeze on the soil for a few days.
Stop changing the environment by taking them outside, until they get stronger.

once they dry out, they will grow and you could feed into that.
 
Weed pharma thanks so much for taking the time to read my messages realy appreciate it.
