First time grower and I’m probably over thinking everything but I like to be successful. Temp is between 75-80°, himidity usually in 80s. pH tester not working. I did order Bergmans nutrients and have not used because I read can over fertilize. Transplanted feom peat pods to Happy frog w 20% vermiculite a week ago. Do these look healthy or should I be worried?

Good Morning 
They look happy to me. 
@deevanguard are they all the same breed? One of them seems to be lagging behind a bit but overall they look fine. I am using the Bergmans also on my current grow as well. Seems good as a fertilizer if not a large quantity. I barely made it through the veg period with the Growtime lol. Hope I do better with the Flower amount.

There are 3 different strains here (white widow, northern lights, and golden leaf). One of my worries is the bottom plant’s leaves look a little yellowish. One of the top plant’s leaves look a little curled but they sort of started out that way. I’m finding that having them in the grow dome, I haven’t have to add any water for a week. I know the root systems isn’t very large right now and the humidity keeps the soil moist. Without being able to have a pH read, I was nervous about using the fertilizer but am thinking I’ll give them a little spritz (the soil surrounding the plant) on lunch today.
The amount of green in the dirt makes me think they are staying too wet. They look good now but my concern is overwatering/drowning roots.
Let them dry out a bit before watering again, cannabis likes wet/dry cycles.
Happy growing!

@deevanguard , Do get the pH (water) tester working or a new one. Do not overwater. Think of how tiny those roots are. I’ve done best when visualizing root growth and watering accordingly. Also wet the outside perimeter, to make the roots reach for it. Lite (-1/2) amount of fert won’t hurt. Looking good.

Seedlings look happy ! As @NavyVet420 mentioned Small cups look wet , I would transplant into some cannabis friendly soil and I think the seedlings will take off big time . Good luck

I was thinking the same thing about the green because I’ve never seen that, even with tomatoes. In order to keep them in the warmth and humidity, I’ve been keeping the dome on throughout the day. I do have a new dome coming today/tomorrow that is much taller and has vent holes. Perhaps I take the dome off for a couple of hours per night to let them dry out a bit? I haven’t watered since I transplanted into the new dirt a week ago but felt it last night and it’s damp enough to leave dirt on my finger.
I could mix half strength fertilizer. Would I only spritz them once or every couple of days over the next week or two?

Bigger so soon? I’ve read conflicting articles that says too big all at once is overkill so gradually increasing pot size is the way to go. So hard for the first time, not knowing which way to go. Hopefully next year I won’t be overthinking this so much.
I’m using Happy Frog right now. Was going to transplant into ocean forest in a couple of weeks.

Both happy frog or ocean forest is a good choice. Happy frog you will need to start feeding a little earlier than ocean forest.
@deevanguard I’d lean towards the other logic, how would too large of an environment be detrimental to the plant? In the wild they are limited only by their pheno’s potential. I’d think limiting how many times you disrupt the root structure is in fact the path to success. Let them spread their legs and get comfy, less issue with potential stunting imho. Good luck!

I’d be very reluctant to transplant more than 1x. Most people will have trouble disturbing roots causing slow downs in development. When you do transplant, you can cut those fiber pots away from the roots and plant the entire root ball without disturbing the roots, into warm moist soil. Remember FFOF is known to be pretty hot for about a month or more. Keep your (water / fret) pH regulated and you’ll do great.
