Are these seedlings healthy?

image.jpg image.jpg The seedlings are about six days old. They are in a mixture of one part super soil, one part earthworm castings, one part roots organic potting soil. The super soil cooked for a month and the PH was great.
They look a little yellow to me. I am also wondering if the color of the next set of leaves is ok as they look dark (not sure if that's normal) I only water once a day, as the soil seems to dry out in the top couple of inches. The four that are more yellow or lime green are Serious Happiness, the two other seedlings are Blueberry and are a bit darker (one is a couple days behind). They are under a 600w MH. Temp is around 72-75 during day, 65 at night. Humidity ranging from 36-57%. Am I being paranoid or is there something going on? Thoughts??

They look fine. Seedlings don't really need anything g for the first couple weeks. It that soil doesn't burn them, they're about to explode!

That dark color showing up in the new leaves of tha happiness is not normal, something is off, how is the ph? Maybe overwater, she seems that is not likeing that hot soil, water less raise rh to 65% or 70%. U know roota organic has nutrients already, plus the castings and the supersoil is strong shit, did u layer the mixes or mixed all together? I would it start them in plain roots organic in party cups and at 2-3 weeks when they have a stronger root system i would it transplant to a bigger pot with the supersoil. Not much to do right now ride it out!! Hopefully they will adapt.. GL

I mixed the three together from the recommendation in the revs TLO book. I thought it might be a little too hot, but he says they can handle it. The PH is in upper 6s right now. The super soil ph was upper 5s when i mixed it. Right now I'm using distilled h2o...could that cause an issue? Im new to growing with super soil.
The RH goes down when the lights are on, I've tried adding a cool mist humidifier, doesn't seem to really get it up. Lights out and the humidity gets close to 60.

Take it easy on the watering, over- watering is way more detrimental then under watering. Start picking up your containers and you'll get really good feel for when they actually need water. You're not going to hurt them unless they're falling over dry.
