Sampson I’m assuming my three seeds died which makes me sad never sprouted but since I’ve pulled back on nutrients and just using water moved the light closer to the plants they have been doing great development of the second nodes yellow edging starting fade away I’ve been watering them once a day

Hi there, I am no expert but here is my take Germination: Jiffies look very moist! Even after watering. They can hold excessive amounts of water which can hinder germination or kill the seedling. 35-40ml of (luke)warm water per pellet to start with is more than enough. Nutrients: IMO yes it's too early... so I think you made the right call to stop with it :). The plant uses nutrients from its cotyledon leaves and the soil for 1 to (X amount) of weeks. Once the cotyledons start to yellow and die is a good sign that you should start to add some nutrients. Of course there is stuff like root booster etc. which may be added at different times. However, 10 ml of grow nutrient is not what the plant needs now IMO. For the rest don't be afraid to let the soil get a bit dry until watering. Maybe lower the light if they keep stretching as they are a little tall.

Need some help ASAP three of my six seeds didn’t popp.. two of the three look real good but a little yellow on the edge which I think is from nutrients. I went back to regular water. Third one is small and not looking great. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thankis

Hey man I am a first time grower myself so I can guess what mistakes you made based on what I have done... yeah no nutrients until the sprouts have their first set of real leaves, the sprouts have all they need up to that point, with nutrients you can very easily burn the seedlings, if they even sprout. Some strains just aren't as reliable with sprouting, like my canuk cookies all popped, but my king kush was like 50%. As sprouts you don't wanna overwater either, once a week is probably ideal, I let my babies dry right out before next water.
