Can anyone advice me on whats up with these. The leaves seem to be drooping down. I watered and fed them last night (using coco) and they still havent perked up. My first time with seedlings as i handled cuttings before. Are they okay or ia they a underlining problem somewhere.

Best guess is overwatering. Check to make sure you are draining....use a skewer to encourage a flow. It is hard to overwater coco normally but seedlings do not use too much. How often are you watering?

I know this is an old thread but nobody said it so I'm going to... watering 4 times in 11 days sounds like a lot to me, I've only been watering once every 3 days and 3-5 days as it gets bigger. Also a big issue you may be having is your clear containers. Light isn't good for your roots, if it was everyone would have clear pots to see their root systems.

Its light/heat stress. Seedlings are very sensitive to temp rises even 1-2 deg. Raise the light and don't water unless the pot gets light to lift. And get the fuckin spuds out of there they don't belong on the soil.
 
I would say over-watered 100%, specifically because you don't have holes in the cups so they can drain off, this was always a problem for me using party cups. If a hole is a problem to figure out just take a knife of any sort and cut 3-4 slits in the bottom of the cup, they'll still drain through that.
