watering everyday isn't a good schedule
if the 4-6 weeks of food is some kind of time release nutes, that's a bad combination with watering everyday, since you fertilize every time you water, which is too much feeding

Thax for the reply it gets dry fast the top inch of soil is dry after 24 hours I was told to water when the top inch was dry I'm doing researching for my mate because he's on holiday and I'm looking after it he said I could have the harvest if I watch his house when would you say water them it would be his first grow so his info just comes from the net.

some soils do dry fast, but not that fast
roots grow towards the water, if the top is dry then roots grow down, which is what you want
i grow in dirt and water once a week, but every setup is different
every 3 days should be plenty, less should be even better

flush is pretty drastic
you could flush, clean out the soil then start measured feeding
reducing the watering might be enough, though it will take a little while to see that

I'd say it looks great. cut the watering to every other day, it looks perfect for a seedling/ early veg. Did he do any foliar feeding? that can leaves spots like that.
