Ok I just transferred plants to 3lb bags yesterday 2.17.2021.. was told that they were showing signs of discoloration because they didn’t have much room left in cups, is this the case? Ask what should my humidity be along with temp? I plant to start nutrients Monday. Any advice on bringing them back? If you have advice on anything I’m all ears.. thanks..

Ok lol slow down and breathe...
Let's start with these...
Medium/soil
Cultivar -auto or photo
Lighting type
Temps both lights on and off
Humidity the same
Air exchange/ movement- what fans and exhaust, fresh air intake
Watering schedule...
For starters...

Lol.. my anxiety is showing via my post..
-Mother Earth pro mix coco coir
-Cultivars and one auto
-Maxsisun LED PB 4000
- I now keep the lights on 24hrs
- 57% humidity atm 72.8 Degrees Fahrenheit
-just turned the fan on 3 days ago (hurricane adjustable fan) does not move
-I water daily at night (should it be the same time daily)?
-PH 5.7-6.5

Ok cool...I grow in soil but let's see...
First, get your temps up...under led they like it a tad warmer..mid 70's to 80 or so...higher if using co2.
Maybe adjust timers to give them a little break...20/ would be perfect.
All living things need a little break lol.
Not familiar with that model of led.
Always keep the light high to start, and adjust accordingly as the plant tells you...getting leggy, lower some..showing heat/ light stress, raise it some. You will find the sweetspot.
I understand coco requires constant feeding, and must remain moist at all times? Not sure, but some simple research on your part will help you greatly.
Humidity seems ok.
Ph in coco is like 5.8 to 6.2? Again, simple research will tell you.
Good luck.

Also I made a huge mistake.. I forgot to label each one when I transferred from cup to bag.. smh I feel like an idiot.. of course this is a HUGE learning experience for me and I know I’ll make mistakes but how do I come back from this one (silently crying)

You cannot, unless someone you know is ultra familiar with the strains you're growing, and really not until almost done flowering...sorry.

I have let my seedlings get a foot high in a beer cup
You shouldn't transplant such tiny babies
It harms the root base and can actually slow or stunt them

Way too early to transplant.
Now you will have a problem maintaining the proper moisture level in such a large container.
I hope you're not giving it plain water?

What do you recommend? I am certainly making sure the PH levels are correct.. I’m depending on someone that I thought knew their stuff but evidently they don’t and they tend to rush.. where should I go from here?

Coco basics:
Feed every day with light nutes to substantial run off using a pH around 6.0.
Never use plain water.
Never let the coco get dry.

Being that you transplanted too early, you can't feed daily to run off until the roots are more established.
I would feed around the perimeter of the plant with light nutes daily.......and increase after the plant grows a bit.
It will be a challenge for a while.......but doable.
Starting with an auto was a mistake.

I dont agree with that, autos are great to start off with

As long as you can grow the plant without any issues.......autos are fine.
But the OP is already having growth problems, like most newbies, which will greatly affect the size of the auto and the yield.
That's why I don't recommend autos for beginners.........not many can grow a plant from start to finish without issues.
Photos allow for mistakes without adversely affecting the outcome.
