What is wrong with my cookies gelato strain

I don't think the OP knows the difference between soil and coco and his coco soil reference was just his lack of knowledge.
Based on the pics of his seedling, it looks like 100% coco to me.

I would guess that too, just from the condition of the seedlings + the admission that he hasn't fed them. You can get away with that for a week or two in other media, but not straight coco.

Probably best to define what you mean by 'coco soil.' What exactly is it that you're using. You'll get very different responses if you're in coco vs. one of the many blends, etc. But yeah, those things look like they're starving for nutrients.

I used those small coco tabs that suck up water (called coco peat).

Hello, I recently started growing cannabis and am now growing cookies gelato. I planted this seedling quite some time ago (it sprouted on the 26th of September). I repotted the seedling at around 8 days because the pot was too small (I thought), this is probably the reason for the slow growth. I also had some troubles with the humidifier which would make the room way too humid. It is planted in coco soil and I gave it a little bit of nutrition (Vita race, power roots, and alga grow). Also, it is running on an 18/6 light schedule under a LED light. It is also getting some small purple spots on the plant and is turning yellow on the leaf tips. Is there any hope for my feminized seedling?

The fact you wasting time with cookies or gelato is mistake 1 imo others may disagree they look hungry also do u know if the coco you using is pre buffered and also is pre washed ? Cos they can contain a shit ton of common salt and thats not good for cannabis much also just so u know

That's good. The alga grow looks like a veg food, so not sure why people are acting like you're not feeding it, other than you might not be feeding it enough, or too much, or at the wrong pH (are you measuring pH? Some nutes do not give an acceptable pH when mixed in with water and have to be adjusted up or down).

My guess was it's overwatered, hence asking about the holes in the cup. But I've never grown in plain coco so I will leave advise about watering and feeding seedlings in coco to the pros...

Edit: fwiw I recall a thread on here a while back where someone was growing in coco and watering with only tap water, and the plant got to like 5-6 nodes before developing the yellow/purple color you've got going on. So my hunch is not lack of food but maybe improper feeding/pH'ing/watering practices...
