She looks hungry for nitrogen. What kind of soil is it in?
I see, ok so if your running coco, then you should get some different nutes. I run a peat/coco/perlite mix. And dry amending via top dress. Fox farm big bloom is a no no for a young seedling. It's a flowering nute. Try the FF Grow Big (the green bottle) at half strength for that little one. There are coco specific nutes available which would be better for your setup than fox Farm. I think it's called canna coco A and B. There is a lot more coco only experienced growers here with more info.
Here's a read if your interested in growing coco/perlite.

You should be feeding every watering until runoff when growing in Coco I think. Start at 1/2 or 1/4 strength because they're still young but definetely do not give them plain water. Also, don't let coco dry out.
Honestly if there still at that size. Than put another couple inches of your media mix into those solo cups or up to an inch and a half below the the very first leaf. Then proceed with half FFGB. Get them healthy First! Then transplant.
Ya I hear ya, I'm a organics soil grower. With just some coco mixed in, not straight coco I mean. So it's hard for me to give good advice because the OP is in a totally different media than I am experienced with. Compost, peat, coco, and a laundry list of amendments. I buy it pre bagged and top dress with dry nutrients n molasses for a few years. With my best results to date. Here is a picture of the pre mixed soil that I buy locally.U burnt it with big bloom.
Thats a bloom additive not a seedling mix.
Young plants require little to no fert until true leaves begin to appear and root systems are established
I dont know why new growers are so inclined to run coco. You need a bit of grow knowledge and proper equipment to use coco properly. Newbies should stick with promix or sunshine mix #4 until they get a bit of exp. Imo
Yes I have a ph meter. It’s not the greatest, it reads around 7. I would consider what I have true leaves, wouldn’t you?U burnt it with big bloom.

Do you have a proper ph meter? Tds meter?
No I wouldn't consider any leaf being a true leaf yet. Reason is that if those young seedlings don't get the correct nutes they need. Then they will soon fall over and die. I hate to be brutally honest, but it's the facts of life.
Big Bloom is not just a flowering nutrient. It's meant to be used the whole grow. It's actually the only Fox Farm bottled nute I'd use.U burnt it with big bloom.

When your inexperienced, There is no such thing as a dumb question... That's how everyone learns, right? It's all about how you ask a question and if you can handle the constructive criticism that follows. Which on RIU is plentiful. LOL. Ask away!
Well shit. I see you're in coco. You need to feed to runoff each watering. And I'd just use chemicals then. Big Bloom is organic.
