Clear containers are a bad idea. Light is not pleasant for roots. Also make sure you have plenty of drainage holes in the bottom. If you don't, you will suffocate the roots. The droopy ones that are yellowing appear to be having an overwatering problem. Luckily, as long as you have good drainage, overwatering won't be a huge problem in coco. Even saturated, coco holds a good amount of oxygen. Your plants don't look too bad for 15 days, but they'll need bigger pots very soon. If they're autos, it's better to start them off in their final pot as autos hate to be transplanted. Don't give any NPK nutes until those little round leaves start dying. Hope this all helps!

General tips for seedlings: Use a non-amended soil. Do not over water, make sure adequate drainage is provided, protect those roots - use beneficial microbes, dark containers. As far as lights is concerned, keep it well under 9k lumens until they get their first set of 3 serrated leaves. RH 70+ Temp 78f

I assume the plants from attempt one died since you say "second attempt at first grow"? - You should probably try soil until you know what you're doing. Growing in soil, is much more forgiving on mistakes. I hope you succeed with this attempt tho. And Listening to Chevron is a good way to do that.
