I wouldn't flush just yet, but I would drop the ph of your feed to 5.8.
@Bill284 is who you should ask about problems in coco though.
Your pics look a bit yellow now compared to the earlier ones. I've encountered that problem with some LEDs. Makes the plants look washed out when their colour is actually fine.
Can you adjust the white balance on your camera/phone?

I'm not sure about the camera white balance. I'll have a mess with it later when I get home.

Hey Mel thanks for the tag.
Good morning @Madtabman
Coco has a couple simple parameters to follow.
Always feed full strength nutrients daily to run-off at 5.8 ph.
Never any plain water and never let your coco get dry at all.
Sometimes I feed twice a day in flower.
And you need to put calmag in your plain water first, before the nutrients.
Lastly always set ph to 5.8.
Follow these simple coco rules and your girls will be happy.
I use a lot of perlite in my coco for aeration.

Thanks @Bill284 . When I said "flush" I actually meant run off. I haven't been doing runoff because I was scared of over watering so that's why I am worried about the nute and PH levels in the coco. As I'm new to seedlings. I always do run off when I'm growing but as I said new to seedlings. Is it OK to do run off on the really early watering times like when the seedlings are super super small?

You need to give the tap root something to chase.
So always water to runoff.
Sometimes it’s easier to water babies with a turkey baster.
Water the outside edges and the roots will shoot out looking for nutrients.
Then when they get big runoff keeps the root zone clean and free of debris so you never need to flush.

One more thing please @Bill284 What EC would you recommend at this stage? Canna Coco A+B and Shogun CalMag my last feed was 0.9EC

1.3?

 

[Bill284]

Early stages 400 - 600 ppm.
And increase as they grow.
But the schedule for those nutrients should have a week by week breakdown with mixing instructions.
Don’t have an ec ppm conversion chart handy, you need one?
Do you have the feed schedule for Canna?

[Madtabman]

Yeah it's around 1.3 - 650 ppm But was wondering what your opinion was

That’s perfect.
As long as they are growing well and the color is good carry on.
