 young seedlings

OK, so here's the deal. My young seedlings are not happy. I've got them under 250hid 20 on 4 off. temps from 70-85F. Humidity from 39-53%. I use a spray bottle to mist them and keep the soil moist. Probably three to four times per day. Also, i water them every few days when the soil is getting dried out. Still they are looking crispy. the cotyledons are yellowing already and these plants are only 5 days old. I've already lost one last week. I'm not sure what the problem is. I don't think i'm overwatering...maybe underwatering. it seems like the soil dries out very often. maybe they need a very small nutrient infusion?
please any advice would be helpful. Here are the pics: (the last is an older, more mature plant. should I nute it yet?)

Yes. My friend is a caretaker for some MJ patients and one of his females produced the seeds.

the seeds were pretty light in color. I know that the darker the more mature. This may be it. i've some others from the same batch of seeds and they seem to be getting along better. . so, generally speaking, what happens when they are immature? thanks

no foliar feeding. I've stopped the spraying though. I guess I got a hold of some bad intel for that one. I'll add some lemon juice slowly . Does lime juice work?
