Hi there I'm a newbie to the whole grow tent thing and it's cost me an arm and a leg-im making rookie mistakes like I couldn't afford vermiculite and the other draining one- I've germinated my LA Amnesia seeds very well. One has 4 small leaves and the other looks like its a gunner.....its really scary and their like my babies. I thought I was over watering so I've cut it down to once a day-18 hrs of light 4hrs darkness even though their autoflowering. When do you put in the ventilation system and ducting/fan? I feel their too small-makes me feel like crying like a proper girl-yeah yeah I know I am a girl but this is daunting-any help welcome. Ps I've canna coco soil mixed with compost high in phosphorous with bone meal and rose feed mixed into it

What size pots are they in? Some pics would really help diagnose what's really going on and get the fans going. You need ventilation to circulate fresh air for the plants to breathe and remove the built up heat to maintain a good environment. Depending on your lights you want between 75-82 roughly temp wise lights on and not too big of a drop at lights out and humidity up around 60-65 lights on for the vegetative stage during lights on and try to not let it creep up much higher at lights out. Try to read up on VPD for cannabis to get an idea of how plants transpire(breathe) and why temp and humidity are so important for dialing in your growing area indoors.

Grab a temp/humidity gauge off Amazon, their pretty cheap and absolutely necessary. I like to have a couple of them, one outside the tent to see what the air is doing in the room and one in the tent to see how my lights and air movement are affecting the ambient air. Don't feel overwhelmed, it's all trial and error/learning in the beginning. Just try to read up as much as you can on proper watering, lighting needs of cannabis at different stages and things like pest prevention.
