Can these crispy seedlings recover?

[it's not mine]

I think I made a mistake and planted 3 of my seeds (after popping in paper towels) directly into FFOF. Pics show 2 of the 3 seedlings which look a little crispy. I believe the nutrients may have been too hot for the seedlings. Am I correct in assuming that? After noticing the seedlings under stress I transplanted them into coco coir hoping to curb the damage. Can the seedlings recover or should I just count my losses and germinate more seeds? I should also mention that I put the seedlings out in the sun every day for about 5 days. I'm sure that didn't help as I recently read that was not a great idea. I should note that when I transplanted into coco coir that they seemed to stop growing. Any suggestions?

Edit: Strain is LSD which is Indica dominant.

Maybe, let it dry out before watering and don't spray them. Never spray seedlings until it's at least a couple weeks up.

Don't let it dry out. Seedlings need easy access to water because they don't have a big root network to go around collecting water. Don't drown it, but keep the soil around the seedling moist. Those seedlings should recover if you treat them right. Good luck.

Doubt it was the FFOF. I plant my seeds directly in it to germinate.

Those biodegradable starter cups suck. They take too long to break up so your roots can spread causing slow growth. I'd get rid of them when you up-pot.

Then perhaps it was putting them in full sun for a week?

I do. I only use them for the seedlings so they can get a little extra O2 from the sides.

Yes

Yes

Since the seedlings are now in coco loco should I add any nutrients? If so, what would you recommend? Maybe a mild one like fish emulsion?

Not yet. Let it recover a bit and when you finally see another set of leaves the water with 1/4 strength and just keep an eye on it.

Okay. I'll post back after the second set of leaves have grown.

Yes, It was too young for that still. If it were kept outside in the shade & it didn't get over 80 F it would probably be OK at that young age.

You are getting good advise from CagedApe and Buds Buddy. Remember that establishing a good wet and dry cycle is important most mistakes at this stage are watering related.

Update: Those 2 seedlings wound up passing away so I'm germinating 2 more. This was a learning experience, for sure.
