You can use reduced strength nutes, 250 PPM or thereabouts.

You're in coco.........you should be feeding from day one, and never give plain water.
Also........never let it dry out........ever.
These are 2 weeks from sprout and fed everyday to run off for a comparison.

Your seedlings are very small for 2 weeks old. Next time start feeding them 24 hours after the cotyledons are open. 50% strength for 3 days if you are running with synthetics.
7 days old seedling in coco with organic nutes:
Wouldn't worry man,they're not curling or wilting,or looking sickly(like dampening off to start dying),PATIENCE

WELCOME TO RIU
No, I'm a outdoor guy exclusively,but have grown for 35 yrs+,so I've started more than my fair share of seedlings,I currently use Root Riot plugs after experiencing a loss of seedlings when I used Jiffy Pellets,the pellets did fine for yrs. but the last couple of times started getting moldy, the last time i used them I grabbed about 70 pellets for tomatoes(the biggest ones I've ever used) and popped my seeds,inserted them, and after sprout I lost 1/2 of them,no vigor and then started to croak,luckily I've got a big seed library so I started more seeds but I had to scramble to get more autos as I always grow some for a faster harvest and don't have a backup supply like I do w/photos. I lost all my D.Passion Glueberry OG and Lemon Skittles Auto's due to some kind of latent fungus or bacteria in those pellets,I think the R Riot plugs are more sterile.

The yellow is due to lack of nutrients, it barely looks bad at all though.. If you plan to feed fertilizer make sure you take it easy on strength for the first couple weeks. I personally don't feed my seedlings anything but pure water for the first week in coco. I've had 1 seedling die out of 121 seedlings this year.
