You need your humidity up in your veg room.High like in the 70s or so if possible .TAKE THE FAN OFF OF THE BABY PLANTS..you will dehydrate them and turn them yellow..ease up on the nutes.
Ive never grown in coco before but its my understanding it is passive hydro..in other words you pour your nutes into the coco and the plant drinks from that no need for a drop system.
My suggestion would be to go get some good dirt and plant into them until you get the feel of things and some more experience under your belt.(read up on dirt growing in subcools old school organics.)
Im not sure who told you humidity levels in the bud room should be at 30% but you will screw up your plants at that humidity level..yea in bloom you will get increased resin production at 30% humidity but you will also get very poor bud formation.50% is right around where you want to keep a bud room.
Get the medical marijuana growers bible and have it around for reference.Nothing in it is written in stone but it will give you a reference manual and some sort of basis for a starting point.
From the looks of your seedlings you have multiple problems..one of witch is a fan blowing right on those babys.The other is over watering in coco.the other is low humidity.
There are several good dirt and organic growers around RIU.Go look and read their blogs.Good luck

get a flouro at least within a foot of the plant, but also not too close.
so is this SOIL (organic matter broken down into dirt, mixed with some stuff like maybe a little coco, perlite, whatever)
Coco (straight coco coir, harvested from coconuts, washed bla bla bla
or what ???
you need to be specific what type of coco did you use? you keep saying its coco, soil, perlite, and clay pebbles on top.. so it's going to effect what pH you need to give it if it's actually soil with some coco(6.5), instead of straight coco which is 5.8
when you get your seeds really just go follow what someone else did for their drip setup, same brands of stuff and so on, it's great u got the coco specific nutes.
at the stage those clones are at now you may be better off getting a couple more going while you wait on your order, to practice for the germination

Lights at a fine height. Dont worry dude, that light is still huge for those little sprouts. Theres a popular misconception alot of growers have that if your light isnt pessed up against your plants or 1000 watts that the plant will die. It wont. Just get those ppms down and hold on tight

Well one of the plants has started to make a turn around the bubblegum on the other hand looks bloody dead so i took it out and just running with the one for now letting th coco soil dry out for the next 2 days then i am going to run with the new filtered water that is 0.4 and start the A&B at 1/4 for the first week and see how they look it and start moving my way up also got my self some PH down today going to take the level down to a 6.4
going to Veg for 6 weeks then let flower for another 8
wish me luck ill post photos as it comes
So is the full plan
i am going to let it dry out over the next two days then run with the new filtered water that is a EC 0.4 once i mix the A&B and the Root booster i am going to take it to 0.6 see how it takes to that for a week
then slower move it up to run on about 1.0 for about 5 weeks
once the veg is over i was going to move the ec to about 1.2 for the flowering stage
Also just going to do a mix in a tub and hand water going to take the PH to 6.4 and EC to 0.6 one week run
drain to waste
