Ok so I have 3 plants in veg. About 6-7 days into veg. I don't know if it's just me or if I feel there growing slow? Anyways I have them in top soil. I know there not much nutrients in top soil. But I felt it would be good until they are transplanted. Should I give them nutes now or do you think they'll be okay another week or two until I transplant them into fox farm ocean soil. Pics attached

In soil, no need to feed for 2-3 weeks. After the cotyledons start yellowing ( small leaves that are not true leaves). After that feed at around 250PPM (.5 scale).
For reference I run 250ppm for seedlings and early veg. ( Coco)
Late veg is 500PPM( I never go over this unles its a monster 7' plant).
Flower I run 50% Veg nutrient and 25% Bloom for a week which is around 750-800PPM.
After that I run 750PPM all they way until last 2 weeks and then I dim my feeding to 50% Bloom and 25% finisher until harvest.
I dont flush as thats just absurd. I give a light flush the last day before harvest.
Hope that gives you some perspective.
I run Maxi Series.

^^^^^ go with that . I like the advice given so for.

@Trippyness how do like the Maxi line? And can you share your thoughts on it. Pm me if you want to so as not to hijack this tread. I'm thinking I might make a change and would love to pick your thoughts.

I just burned a 2 week old baby with some 1/2 strength fertilizer. I try to get away with laziness and water all of my plants with the same mix, but from now on it'll be a separate bottle of plain water for the babies.

My plant still looks pretty much fine - just some yellow spotting on the oldest leaves. You can get away with a little fertilizer but it's probably not the best thing for a developing plant.

I love the Maxi line. I have used several nutrient companies ( Blue Planet, GH 3 Part, AN, Dynagro).
I like that its powder and cheap, works well and never have issues.
I run Maxi Gro, Maxi Bloom, Dry Koolbloom.
Supplements are Silica, Cal Mag.
I plant to switch to pure Calcium Nitrate and Magnesium Sulfate and pure Silica in dry form as I hate liquid.

Go ahead and feed it, not that big of a deal. More concerned as to why its so short, 24 hour light period by chance or just keeping the lights too close...

No DONT FEED IT. He is in soil. if he feeds it he is going to stunt the growth of his seedlings.
Not sure why you dont know this.
He seedling is fine for sure for a few weeks plus the nutrients already in the soil.
His seedling looks fine. Likely using low wattage light source.

Posted plenty of pics of well fed seedlings in soil here, none look burnt or overfed.

Would love to see a seedling fresh popped being feed nutrients...
Its useless and can cause more harm than good.
Quit giving advise that could harm OP and other newbies.
He is in soil which has nutrients as does the plant for several weeks until the first leaves get yellow and/or fall off.
