Do my seedlings need feeding?

What soil or soil less do you have them in?
I would not feed them until 3-5 nodes and make sure you do not over water. That is very important as it develops its roots system not to drown roots and by not over watering your plants root system will grow faster looking for water down lower in pot. Picking up your pots when dry soil and wet soil will help you feel when they may need water. If you know all this I am sorry I was just trying to put info all in one post.

im using 125 cfl light, They are big buddha blue cheese, always at 25-27c fed distilled water i wont be feeding any nutes till exactly 3 weeks, i need a humidity reader but have not got one, as long as they look good and not starved for water im happy, are they looking at least normal for 10 days old?
They look great to me. If you look on my journal (Growing With The Big Girls Scrogging The Big Girls ) you will see my seedlings about the same age.

You will find not all seeds are equal , even if they are same strain. This is why when you find a really good grower you clone and keep it around.

my question is once the seeds crack and they sprout how long until you're going to change the light to 12/12?

That's called the veg cycle, takes at least 5 weeks if you want a decent sized plant, depends on how big you want her to get.

after 3 weeks old should i add quarter nutes to my plants and change to a 400watt hps bulb? they will be 3 weeks old 9 days from today

Age doesn't matter, it's all about the plant's size when to use nutes. Gotta wait until there are 4 sets of leaves at least then start at 1/4th strength nutes. HPS is best for flower, MH or CFL's are best for veg.

theres only 1 plant with 4 leaves up to now and another slowly following, One thing i have noticed is dark purple stems on the smaller ones? Not sure if that is a problem?

After looking at the pics your plants are close. Maybe a few more days, week at most and then you can start.

Mine are looking better everyday. Yesterday was day 30 since they sprouted from seed, so is today day 1 of my 30 day veg cycle?
