There ya go, I just walked upstairs and took this for you. My humidity is about 10%. I live in the Mojave Desert. Those seedlings aren't a week old yet. But sure keep your humidity dome. I use a humidity dome until the seedlings sprout. As soon as they sprout they go under a T5 and no humidity dome. Mine are in the Jiffy Pellets they were germinated in and the rest of the pot is 50/50 Coco/Perlite

I don't use brick coco because I feel the quality is better in the bag.
The few times that I used brick coco, I first hydrated it with tap water.
Then I rinsed it in a bucket of clean tap water.
I put a couple of handfuls of coco in the bucket of water at a time, swish it around, then scoop out what floats.......the powder sludge sinks to the bottom.
Once I have a bunch rinsed and scooped out I place it in a bucket and saturate it with 1/4 strength bloom nutes ph'd around 6.0 overnight.
Hope that helps.

I only use bagged coco pith. I used coco brick once and hated it. Here's what I use

I use my tap, it's 250 PPM mostly Ca/Mg and around 8.4, but keep trying.

Now you're finally giving us something to work with.
First of all........never give plain water........if you do, pH it to around 6.0.
There is no reason to spray them with anything.
Personally, I would run a weak nute solution pH'd to 6.0 through it.........that medium needs a pH adjustment for sure.

You just can't wrap your head around the fact that high humidity is unnecessary for seedlings........if anything it's potentially detrimental.
You've resisted just about every suggestion made to you.
