Normally light green leaves going to be a sign of nitrogen deficiency. It looks like you're using a soil blend which should probably already have PLENTY of nitrogen for the seedling stages. Since it looks like the soil blend you are using contains bark chips I am going to guess it's a ph problem in the soil which is preventing the nutrient lock out.
Lights look fine, temp fine, humidity is fine for your current stage. Id recomend buying soil from a grow store that's more suited for "speciality" plants. Just my guess good luck!

Coir performs better at a little bit higher pH from my experience. Try keeping it at 6-6.5.
I think this is caused by overwatering to be honest. It's really hard to create a uniform root environment in the medium without roots to begin with. You have to start watering very gentle and easy to keep it moist but not wet.
Coir should have no wet to dry cycle like soil. A uniform medium environment is what you aim for in every hydroponic system.

So ima keep ph at 6.3, ok im just confused of how much water, i wish i can water till runoff n wait till cup get light n water again... so how much water do i put???????

Try covering the coir with leca pellets or something that can keep moisture and spread the water before it hits the coir.
Then you go by weight really. Try liftting them off the floor and put them on stands in the middle of the room. You need to keep the roots insulated somehow so they don't get to cold.
Roots need to stay warm but not to warm. Thermodynamics tells us that heat will speed up nutrient uptake in soil like mediums to a certain degree. Try taking advantage of this and insulate the roots by placing them about 16 inches above the flooring. Place a runoff tray underneath, this will also help with aeration and help prevent creating a anaerobic stagnant environment with standing water in the pots.

So ima put them on table, with some low watt led (king led) so they can give some heat, and ima start water to run off n then ill wait till they r light , i dont feed them right, just oh 6.3 water
