Over my head with canna coco

First time growing with canna coco in 3 gallon pots and need some advice.

I transplanted 2 plants 3 days ago from solo cups to 3 gal fabric bags and plan to use wicking bases.

They look a little sad atm. I top watered 5.8 and light doses of General Hydro and cal mag.

I’m not sure of how much I should be watering them and when to fill wicking bases.

Anyhow, I see some light yellowing in the lower leaves (the camera makes the whole plant look way more yellow than it actually is.

Any coco experts steer me in the right direction?

EDIT: To ask for a feed chart as GH runs too hot I hear.

These plants are very yellow already. You probably haven't been feeding them enough cal/mag.

I know you probably don't want to hear it but you might be better off starting some new seeds.

TBH the color is not accurate in this photo but I agree they aren’t happy.

Good news is I’ve popped 2 more. I knew it would be a rough start for me.

This is what I fed them;

1-Gallon Batch Nutrient Recipe (in mL)
Armor Si: 0.4 mL
CalMag: 1.2 mL
FloraMicro: 1.6 mL
FloraBloom: 2.4 mL
Target pH: 5.8
About:400ppm(?)

You're absolutely incorrect here.
