subbed for the ride 
So I'm heading on day 4. Everything was seemingly going well, 100% germination success. Had a heating issue to start things off. I bought a Dyson AM09 to heat up my room, but I found out that after a bit of googling, that the Dyson heater range all have automatic cut-off after 9 hours. I checked on my tent before work first morning and temps were around 6 Celsius lol. I have taken care of that issue, so onwards and upwards. Hopefully no damage done.
Feeding water daily - Not much, just enough to dampen the soil. I have the heater fan and a oscillating fan swirling air around, so I think it might dry my soil out pretty quickly. Temps are on average around 26c, dropping a couple degrees overnight. Lights sitting 700mm above on a 20/4 schedule. Exhaust fan on lowest fan speed pulling air out. Everything's good on that front I think.
Here's a couple individual photo's of each plant and a couple more of setup.
Cheese 1 & 2
Mazar 1 & 2
Glueberry OG 1 & 2
Whitewidow 1 & 2
Room:
With my total lack of experience, I'd say the cheese, glueberry and Mazar [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] are going okay? Any feedback would be sweet.
Now...here's where I'm stumped haha. I'm just going to assume the Mazar will come along in due time, it appears to be healthy. But as for the Whitewidows, I got no idea what's happened with them. I was thinking maybe the other morning where my heater went off, maybe that's a possibility? Again, any feedback would be awesome.
Cheers for looking guys & thanks to everyone for the kind wishes!

I cannot really tell from the picture - please post full size and maybe get closer pictures of the white widows. I think that they have what is called "helmet head" where the seed shell gets hung up on the new growth. Sometimes a drop of water will soften the shell and it will fall off. Other times you can ever so carefully coax them off. I have killed more than one doing this but have saved many as well.
You were spot on @Mañ'O'Green. I ended up getting some tweezers and carefully removed the 'shell'. They seem to have taken well to it. I will keep in mind better photos too. I'll try get some better ones in a few days when they're hopefully a bit more established. 
Day 17 and things are going good. Been feeding 1mL to 1L of Sensi A/B Bloom - appear to be taking to it well. I have been watering each day after they wake up, soil has been drying out quickly I think. Due to being an air pot, a heater and oscillating fan running 24/7. I think I have stunted a couple of the plants with my over watering - but end of the day, it's all a learning curve for me, and I have learned a lot in the short time. I ended up leaving my lights at 700mm above, but I cranked them up to half way. Heres some photos of each individual plant.
So, I think the two Mazar's are going great guns, glueberry 1 is going nicely, and the two cheese are doing good also. WhiteWidow's I had a rookie error with them at the start with their helmet head, and it took me a couple days to realise - So I've probably stunted them also. But here's my Glueberry 2. I am pretty sure I've over watered him. Can anyone confirm?
Again, thanks for stopping by!

I know I should probably be a bit more precise in my waterings, but I have just been watering roughly 500mL~...But I have been just trying to keep the soil wet all around the pot. I've been battling pretty low humidity too. But I know I have definitely over watered the GlueBerry. I think I'll just let them all have a day without, see how it goes.
Unless your space is very warm I'd say that 500ml per day is a bit much at this stage of their lives M8. Let them go without water for a full day and my bet is they'll perk up a good bit then feed them a bit less if you want to keep feeding daily I'd try maybe 200ml/ 250ml per day at this stage gradually increasing 50/100ml at a time as they grow or alternatively feed them your usual 500ml but let them dry out completely before feeding again.. my guess is that 500ml would keep them going for 2 days at this stage of their life. I think 500ml a day is too much so your roots aren't getting enough oxygen, cuz the soil isn't drying out before you tip the next 500ml in. Just my 2 bobs worth buddy. Good luck.
Nah I think you're spot on man, I'm definitely watering too much. Definitely need to cut it back. Thanks very much for the feedback, appreciate it.
