Slow growing plants - Please advise

HI everyone. I have 2 plants, 1 GSC and 1 Sour Diesel. They started germination about 5 weeks ago. They were put in solo cups a few days later with FF Ocean Forest, with no perlite. They popped up in a few days, but it's been really slow growing.
A couple of days ago I transplanted them to 1 gallon fabric containers with about 1/3 perlite and the FF Ocean Forest soil.
The humidity has been a little low, but I'm trying to increase it.
I water it with PH balanced RO water when the soil is dry but not enough for the water to run out, until I transplanted them. I gave them a big watering after the transplant and some water ran out of the containers.
The light was at 30K lux and I just bumped it up to 50K lux.
Temp is in the 70s.

I've read that I shouldn't add nutes for a few weeks. Since I transplanted them with new soil, should I wait a few more weeks or should I add nutes?
Any recommendation for nutes?

The big question is, what would cause these to be so small?
Do they look healthy or do they have signs of overwatering. They are a little droopy and curling a bit.

Much appreciate any help!

Also ffof soil is pretty hot from what ive gathered, so definitely give them a few weeks before adding any nutrients.

I have 2 blueberry autos in ocean forest right now and havent fed them once, 6 weeks from sprout and my leaf tips are burning.

Was wondering that myself. I didnt think they were for soil but i dunno.
Thanks for the reply Goodshit97.
It's supposed to keep in the moisture, doesn't it?? I saw it somewhere so I thought I would use it.
Should I remove them?
