I have 3 day old seedings. I'm a new grower (kinda) i only have led lights. They have the veg/bloom switches. I spray them with a couple squirts of water when they look like they need it. My question is how do I take care of them? Like when do I add nuts, what lighting? Everything lol

Don't spray them with water, saturate the soil with a growth formula and sit back and wait.
Get a moisture meter and water when it says the soil had dried.
Get a laser temperature gun and get the lights as close as heat allows.
Get an oscillating fan and have air blowing over them.
Most of all, don't think there are things you have to do everyday to make them healthy. Plants at your stage are a waiting game. So wait.
Good luck, ask more questions!

Thank you, what do you mean by growth formula? Npk? If so I thought the soil has enough for a couple weeks. I have no idea how to feed these. I have a plant that just went into flower and I'm good with that. It was a clone. It's just these seedlings that I've never dealt with. I'm afraid of over feeding/watering them. HELP :confused::D

Growth formula is a vegetative NPK, higher in N.
Feeding depends on the soil you use. A cheapo pre fertilized soil like Miracle Grow or Schultz usually doesn't need fertilizers for weeks. A soil you make yourself, not organic, will require ferts throughout the grow.

Your plant just into flower is in 'the stretch'. Maintain veg ferts until you see pistil clusters start to form, THEN begin flowering fertilizer, higher in P and K

Also, what do I do as far as lighting. Do I use the veg and bloom? Or just the veg? This is what's in the soil. It's root organics original

OK, with that soil, don't feed, possibly until the stretch is done. Keep a close eye on the lower leaves and come back with pics and questions about discloration

With that light I’d run both switches start to finish squeeze all the power you can out of that little light.

One of my seedlings is starting to lean. It's now day 5. What can I do to help it safely?

It's stretching towards the light-it means the light isn't strong enough or it's too far away. Just an fyi, when you have a stretched seedling like that, you can bury most of that long stem when you repot it, if it's still a problem at that point.
