Hey dude and welcome to the community! They are nothing to worry about really, sometimes they fall off sometimes they don't. What I would worry about is giving nutrients so early because you can see its already damaging the plant (the yellow leaf tips) I would hold off for one more week on nutes and then start to add little by little. As we say on the kitchens, "you can always add but can't take away"

what a great observation for a first grow.Day by day.You are definitely right,600 ppm roughly equals to 1.2 EC which is pretty high for a seedling but you've already seen it so there is no problem.Cotyledons getting yellow usually means hunger.Yours don't look hungry as I can see cotyledons in the last pic.Just try to control feeding routine and it will thrive in no time.0.8 - 1 EC is optimal for this stage,then you can increase gradually over time.You can check out my blue dreams on my actual diary.Good luck

Hi Wings You don't have to worry to much absolutely normal. Cotyledons are there to provide your seedlings with enough nourishment for the seedlings until first set off true leaves appear then their job is done. Photosynthetic cotyledons remain on the plant until the first true leaves appear and can begin to perform photosynthesis. This is generally just a few days and then the seed leaves fall off. ... Some plants' cotyledons persist for up to a week or two but most are gone by the time the first two true leaves are evident Hopefully this helps Good luck with your grow.

Oh ya! Easy question. Yep! Cots are just temporary to help get her going. After your first set of true leaves come in, the cots free ride is over. They will die out and we need to remove them. This is 100% normal and expected. Nothing to be concerned about at all. Any other questions? Throw me a message in PM ! Looking good keep it up!☺️🙁
