I think you're going to do just fine.
My first RDWC run was challenging, and I learned a lot along the way. The conditions in my tent were not ideal, had a light I was completely unfamiliar with, and started off with a cheap ph/ec meter that almost tanked the whole thing (good meters are worth the $).
I finished the grow with some of the best smoke my friends and I had ever had, straight up space weed.
Enjoy the ride

I hate to be that guy, but those are white label. White label seeds are fine, but you're likely not getting any of those actual strains. They might have some components in there, but don't mistake it for the real deal. My first grow was also white label white widow and blueberry. Decent smoke, short flower time, very resilient to mold and stress hermis. Doesn't mean your plants will be bad, but there's a whole other layer to this game in finding true breeders and preservationists who have real deal old school funk, and know how to breed towards the desired traits.

Still, best of luck to you!

Tell me more about those strains ... I was in the assumption that after the harvest the plants are finished ...

1* one seed did not sprout :-( but the three other are doing fine ... :-) I can rough it up with sandpaper maybe?

2* shall I leave the feeding container with the pump outside of the tent ... or it's preferred inside the tent?

Outside for access for filling and checking water level and ph. Even with a ph monitor you will want to verify with a good meter and check calibration weekly. Are you running a chiller for the solution?

Is it a problem if I cut a little of the sprouts radicle to place it in the coco media ...

I roughened the unopened seed and put it again in the moisture ... And in any case also my final seed of Amnesia ;-)

Yes, two would definitely even things out. And I would definitely spend $26 for a Uni-T, or similar, light meter. It's money very well spent. I, admittedly and unabashedly, have a very strong bias to feeding my plants well and to using a light meter to make sure they're well fed and the reason is simple — up to the light saturation point, cannabis yields increase in an almost linear manner. If you want more weed, give your plants more light. </todays_sermon> ;-)
