first time wish me luck

hello iam currently doing my first little grow with 3 autos in a 50x90x5.5 ft tall space, in 3 gallon fabric pots,using bio bizz lightmix,under a kingbrite qb288 lm301b 240w full spectrum led,will be using mega crop nutrients at around 2-3 weeks, the temp sits around 22-25 degrees during the day at 75 humidity and about 18-22 at night with 50-60 humidity, iam also using still water brought from shop has a base ph of 7,3 and ppm of 90 i have lowerd the ph to about 6.2 and waterd 2 times with maybe a litre of water just wet the soil and have sprayed with water ever so often to raise humidity they are currently only 3 days old 1 of them with rapid growth (did have little longer in germination) and had a bigger tail then the others once planted. 1 of the seeds decided to grow upside down with tap root sticking out of the soil so i had to do some surgery if you can call it that ahaha all looks ok to me as a newbie I THINK just want to confrim my light is dimmed down to the lowest setting (not sure on the wattage) and sitting 21 inches away i will slowly brighten the light every other day once i see them ALL pop out a little above the soil my seedling thats has grown the most hasn't quite grown leaves yet looks a little weird to me (as shown below) or its just me maybe or is it just sooo young and me being a little impatient thanks for any feedback and will keep updated

Sorry to hear about your loss, that couldn’t have been fun, but I’m glad your other two are doing well! I currently have my first set of steaknife leaves on a mango smile and strawberry nuggets from Mephisto genetics. I am very excited and proud of my little ladies so far; I hope they do well while I’m at work tomorrow. My LED is a sf~2000 and my tent is 20 inches by 46 inches and 62 inches tall. My current light distance is 32 inches away from the seedlings, I am using fox farm happy frog, and will use diluted nutrients once they reach the vegetative state and request them. I will be using the fox farm trio of nutrients from that point on. Prior to planting them I germinated them in root riot cubes and flushed my medium with tap water ph’d to 6.1. They will be growing in 5 gallon fabric pots.

How far away is your light currently? Is it at full power yet? Trying to figure out how far away to keep my light, its 202w and has excellent coverage of my grow area. I’m trying to keep it at a distance to where they benefit, and can comfortably grow into it.

that sound all good man im sure there be fine whilst your gone to work aslong as you know your temps and humidty and know how to coontrol it to a certain extent you should b fine keep that good humidty for seedling you should be fine man
light is a kingbrite qb288 lm301b 240w quentem board i have a dimmable setting on my board i started from almost my lowest setting and the light was 20 inches away my lowest setting is something like 75 watts i think and i have slowly increased my lights every day a little tiny bit and for the first week i kept 20 inches away and by then i was on about 40-50% power i then moved my lights to 24 inches away and kept moving up the power i am now 2weeks 1 day and iam on full power on my board and 24 inches away i aim to go 20 inches in flower. i think you can move your light down a little i would say but iam no expert maybe just look up som sf 2000 grows on https://growdiaries.com

FB is good stuff always.
I learned first you have very good humidity man and you're growing from seed, i would skip covering it for sure IME. You deprive it from getting used to the already fine RH 40-65 is fine if consistent through veg but I recently found this timer thingy so i grow autos outdoors in desert 4 sure u dont wanna makem used to stale ass swamp!
Also I cooked some seedlings so that made me learn.
I also use a digital meat thermometer, keep the soil between 60s-80 max 85 in organic media but not the best (ok for 110F outdoors few days).
A cheap laser temp reader aimed at the leafs also keep it under 85 especially babies.
For the babies also get a cheap LUX meter on aliexpress or indirect from jeff bezoz at a premium, and use this chart that has been accurate for me comparing to china vendor specs (im sure they spec it in a foil tent).

Since my leds have all the colors i use the last one Blue/Red+3k.
As long as my seedlings stretch a little at first it means i should not be burning them.

looks great dark hue green nice ridged leaves.
Lots of misinformation in growdiaries so be careful.
There's auto growers growing Ditchweed INdoors for sometimes 16-18 weeks n more i see and people cheering them on like im in fucking upsidedown world.

Hope im not rambling but 7,3 and ppm of 90 ...so a ppm of 90 is pretty clean. It doesnt have enough ions to change the average ppm in your soil.
7.3 is not far from 7.0 so your media and then long term high ppm feeds will really dictate your soil pH plus healthy bacteria letting your biojizz work. In other words no need to pH but you can test this on your next regular photo if u worried.
I use the orange pH pen from local hardware store it gives me a good idea, usually when time to fertilize pH goes towards 7. then 6.2-6.5 of u feed a lot.
*my ppm outdoors is hard water@500ppms, i prep my potting soil with small amount of sulfur, and buffer with lime, organic nutes still bring it down nicely usually 6.7-70 so thats the power of ferts and microbes

i will update soon
(pics). week 3 tomorrow and my tent is smelling a little my blackberry is literally loving life showing sex plenty of bud sites. little bit of leaf curling tho i think maybe could just be little bit of light stress im no expert as i say but i pulled the lights away a little.my sherbert is a little slower and i have notices a little brown spot on 1 of the leaves kinda making me worried but we will still keep going im sure its nothing.i did have issue during the week with my tent getting very hot as i forgot to turn my inline fan on to combat the heat as been very hot where i live recently got very warm in there but they seem to be ok especially my blackcurrant
