am I over worrying?

Seeds were from a seed bank, just an indoor mix.
Fox farm nutes, big bloom grow big, tiger bloom.
Ocean forest soil
3 weeks old
watered every 3 days
Justed testede the water and ph level is 7.8
I havent given them any nutrients yet
Grown under 8 23 watt cfl's
Just put them under 400 watt mh last night
temp's at top of plants 79 to 81 humidity 45 to 50
I'm a first timer who has invested a couple of months on RIU trying to learn everything, but nothing has prepared me for the joy and anxiety of being a parent. It looks like some of the lower leafs are yellowing and am trying to leave them alone and not get over-excited. I just bought some ph down and will keep my water at 6.8. I transplanted them from plastic cups to thier current pots today. I've read that you don't have to feed your plants for a couple of weeks because ocean forest will sustain them for that long. Does this hold true when you transplant them? Any input is appreciated.

i'd say your worrying is justified looking at those pics....but it looks like you figured out the problem. PH 7.8 is way too high. Correct you ph and they should improve.

thank's I hopefully that works, should I feed them next time I water, or just water.

Just water them with a corrected Ph level, your Ph level is seriously high dude, you need to bring that well down below seven, @ 6.5-6.8 or so and you will see a great improvement, after one or 2 waters start adding your nutes agin if you'd like but only at roughly 1/4 the recommended dose on the bottles.
But to be honest dude, iwouldn't go on the nutes till your plant is looking healthier and even at that it can be left till you enter Bloom

Hope your plants are okand sort themselves out..
Best of look dude
