any advice??

ive got two babies growing right now, both feminized auto flowers, skunk #1 and crystal meth.
this is my first grow so i just wanted some input from some experienced growers.
please let me know everything im not doing or could be doing better!!
they're 2 weeks old.
theyre under 24/7 light, MH 400watt for veg, that i've kept 2 feet away. switching to HPS 400watt for flower.
space is 2.5x2.5
The temperature of the room stays around 80-87
humidity is 30%, sometimes i give them a little mist on the leaves because i know that it's sorta dry.
there is an oscillating fan pointed between them and the light, they sway a little bit.
grown in Whitney Farms organic potting soil, NPK of 0.15-0.10-0.15 and i added some perlite. 10% maybe?
she's in a 3 gallon smart pot, good drainage, the pot does not sit in any standing water.
i germinated her straight from the soil, took her 4 days to sprout.
gave them their first feed earlier today, i use general organic nutrients. i mixed up 1.5ml of BioThrive Grow, 1.5ml of BioRoot, 1ml of CaMg, 1ml of Diamond Black, and 1ml of BioWeed in 1 gallon of water. each of the babes got 1/2 the gallon. in between each feed i plan on giving only PHed water, been keeping it about 6.5-7. unless anyone thinks it'd be okay to feed every water????
and i wait until 2 inches deep is dry before watering.
any advice is welcome!!!! thank you

unfortunately i'm not with my babes right now so i'm gonna attach the only pics i have. they're from about 10 days old.
crystal is the first picture, skunk is the second.

i see you made it over to the auto section, plants look good man. advise: dont kill them with kindness auto usually dont need high amounts of nutes.
 
Try and drop the temps at flowering if possable. Im growing in a similar sized space (2'x2'x5' tent) and started with a MH & HPS set up. That all stopped the day my tent 115℉ inside so i went LED. Better temps by far. Still cant run it in the summer where im at but its the best option iv found.

Also i wouldnt spray the plant at all. To keep my humidity up i had a big cup of water in front of my fan and that helps but gets nasty after a few days and yeah... I stopped that real quick. Now i just keep the top soil slightly wet. If it looks good and dry but the soils still moist far down id hit the top till its all wet and stop. Dont judge with the 2" rule. Its a good way to start but i found a cheap hydrometer is worth it. When i wasnt sure id stick her in and see if the pot was dry enough and go from there. Another thing real quick, autos have very little room for error... Go easy on the nutes. I wouldnt start till pre flower hairs pop at earliest.

After a while youll figure out your set up and what you plants like and it will become easier. Good luck and im subbing in!!!

i did buy one of those cheap three way testers for for the moistness, ph and light. how "dry" should it be before i water again?

If you watered them both with half gallon they'll be good for a couple days , over these days pick up the planter and you'll see how it gets lighter over time, you'll know when it's time to water when the planter is light and dry. This will take a little experience but you'll get it, and after a while you'll be able to tell just by looking at the plant. IMO I wouldnt have fed her just yet maybe just the bio root I've used the general organics box before and the grow always burned the crap out of my plants. I used the grow probably once or twice through the plants lives
