As a rule, don't feed just after transplnting into new soil. When u start to feed (after a week or 2 into the fresh soil) start with 1/4 strength and work up slowly.

I feed nutes 1/4 strength when I see the second set of leaves on the seedling thats for hydro though.. Soil usually has nutes in it so you just need to water for the first few weeks.

1/4 strength is fairly vague for a hydro setup.

Ocean Forest is extremely hot without nutes. Alot of times it is too hot for seedlings.
