They look good! If you look at pictures of other young seedlings, you'll see they're not a dark, dark green but a lighter green. I think another few days and you can start to add nutes. If you don't have a ppm meter to make sure you're keeping the total proportion of nute to water at the right level, then start very light -- 1/4 of what the label recommends. Or even less. I found that my nute level for my adult plants ran around 1/3 of the label recommendation. So start at 1/4 for a couple of weeks, then 1/3, then maybe 1/2 and stay there for the duration of the grow. You might find you need some cal/mag added at some point (at least I did), but that should be about it. I used a 3-part nute system for hydro. Advanced Nutrients micro, grow and bloom.
Well it depends if you are in soil or soilless. So more info.
Light green is a good color for cannabis just not yellow and be careful. For the most part Cannabis tends not to be a heavy feeder so any nutrient that you decide to use I usually start at 1/4 of the recommendation.
Oh and I use Dyna Gro Foliage Pro during veg and Dyna Gro Bloom during flower. I can't complain it does a GREAT job inexpensively. I also use their ProTekt (silicone additive) and finally Botanicare's Cal/Mag because I like the Fe in it.

ok thanks i looked at some seedlings they look pretty normal. i dont have a ppm meter so ill just start off with with 1/4 like you said. and advanced nutes is a little out of my price range i might go with fox farm nutes or dyna gro.
