Gave them 800 ml lastnight will leave them for few days
Also temp got a little high maybe In turn with the overpotting they may be showing signs of this also.. due to me not being able to have humidity where I would like it to be.

This is a classic mistake that most noobs make. Taking a seedling and putting it in too big of a pot and then over watering can kill them.

This is why many people up pot slowly...letting the roots get established each time before transplanting again.

I start with a 2 oz portion cup..then move to a solo cup. Once the plant has just about outgrown the solo cup its moved to a 5 gallon ... then to 400 gallons.

Get yourself a soil tester to read the moisture (they are cheap) it will save you a lot of mistakes.
