They're doing great.seriously time to relax. The only thing you've got to worry about is how big you want them and when you're gonna flip them.
Carry on doing what you're doing.
Are you feeding/watering every day.

Yes I feed them approx a litre each per plant a day - once every 24 hours, I keep a diary of the times n stuff lol! But I guess I’m doing ok! Just the issue of others going up to 40ml of a and b and I’m using 2.5 of a and b. When I flower I’m planning to use around 3-3.5ml of each. & yes I’m planning to flip soon just was wondering about how tf I got here!!

It might be worth giving the bigger plant maybe 2litres a day, I believe it's good to give enough water until it nearly comes out of the bottom,nothing coming out but nearly.
Like I said they're good, the way you were talking I thought they'd be a mess lol.
The top leafs on the big one are a little light green, but that can be normal. If it gets worse than up the nutes a LITTLE.
Until then, enjoy your plants,your doing great. Good luck with the flip.

Okay thanks for that! & ah they are looking ok actually lol. And yes I get like 20-30% run off each time I feed a litre but I will start feeding more frequently maybe twice a day in the coming weeks! And sure I’ll keep an eye on the light green leaves! Thanks !

If you're getting run off then once a day is good.just keep an eye on the colour of leafs and you should be golden.

top leaves are getting lighter which means yellowing I guess! Should I up the amount of canna a and b from 2.5ml of each to around 2.8-3ml of each?
You want the pH of your nutrients to vary a little between 5.5 - 6.0 during veg. Reason for this is a plant takes up different nutrients at different pH levels. About 2 weeks into flower you up the pH between 5.8 - 6.6 & 2 weeks before harvest go back to the 5.5 - 6.0 range. The P & K uptakes better during flower with the higher pH & that's what you're after.
Not sure if you know about Coco so I'll point out some basics. NEVER just use plain water in Coco & NEVER let it dry out.
Feed every time to run off & better to feed 2 - 3 times per day. Can't over water Coco ! Keep Cal Mag on hand as you will need it. Coco grows use a lot of it. I was using 4 ml. per gallon near the end. Keep your RH between 60 - 70 % during Veg & 40 - 50% during flower. Temps between 75 - 82 F lights on. Lights 24" - 30" above canopy as seedlings, 18" - 24" in Veg & 12" - 18" in Flower. Do some LST on them & you'll pull a lot more weight & you'll get nice bushy plant instead of tall lanky ones. That pretty much covers your basics. Hope it helps.

The reason for feeding 2 - 3 times per day is every time you feed you create air bubbles that go to the roots. Roots love the oxygen. That's why some growers use Air Domes in their Auto Pot Coco Grows.

thanks ! Have you seen how much I’ve been feeding and the pictures? My top leaves are lightening and gettingyellow I think. Currently feeding 1ml calmag 2.5ml of canna a and b each & 7ml rhizotonic per 10l water!
I never used that nutrient line so can't speak on that. Just about everyone starts out at 1/2 of the strength the label says. Then every couple weeks up it some more. Once you see your plants react a little negatively back off 1 notch & you'll be right on track. That's the way I do it every grow. I'm on my 6th grow now over the past 3 years. I came in knowing nothing but everyone here is so helpful I learned a lot. So I try to pass it on.
The top leaves look like newer growth to me. Were they dark green before & got lighter? If it got lighter on the top but not on the bottom your light is too close. If it's doing it on bottom too you need to increase your nutes because you are getting a Nitrogen (N) def.
I'd up pot them to 5 gallon bags before you go 12/12. They will get about 1/3rd bigger & you don't want them root bound in the smaller pots. I think 12 ltr. is around 3 gallon ? Transplant, wait a day or 2 & tie all your branches back outwards & you'll be ready for 12/12. Just give it a couple days after doing these things to adapt before going 12/12. You'll be on your way to making buds. Takes about 2 weeks & you'll start seeing 2 white hairs coming out in different places. Those are going to turn into buds. Get all the light you can to those areas without burning the plants.
