Am I overwatering?

I’ve been feeding em about 600ppms of floranova grow at 5.9-6.0. I let them dry back the first two or three waterings and started watering daily figuring the roots were established but maybe not. My tent stays about 82 degrees and 60-65% humidity so not sure what im doing wrong.

They look pretty healthy aside from a tiny bit of droop. Let them dry back a bit more and see if they perk up. I don't think its much to worry about at this point.

I use this to check moisture at the roots. Iv had my soil damp Inch down all around and roots dry as hell. It's saved my ass s few times. As plants can drop from under or overwatering so you got to know.

I ph at 6.0. I never check run off. I use very little nutes. But an expert would need to answer that. I have no knowledge on it.

What are the white specks on the lower fan leaves?
Take a couple of pics of the fan leaves with the white specks.

I believe its the start of thrips so I’ve been using spinosad every three days and running 2ml of h202 through the coco with every watering

Personally I would repot that to 3 or 5. When I did mine it was just in time all soil on roots was hard as a brick. I gently tap it on ground until it was mainly roots. Watered the roots good no nutes and put in 5 gallon of fresh happy frog and it took off. Mine stop growing during veg so I knew something was off.
 
Also I try keep under 60 humidity and 76 to 79 degrees. After seedling you don't want alot of humidity. Needs good airflow as well. I push filtered air in and suck air out top. Little different than most people but it works for me.

I was using hydroguard until i saw spots and switched to h202. Ill up pot and see what happens. Ill try to take a pic of the roots too. My guess is they’ll be a bit brown
