nitrogen toxicity?

What could be causing the rolling/cupping of the leaves and the bluing of the leaves? I have them in some shitty Miracle grow potting soil that I think is way too hot so I'm looking for some different soil but in the mean time I need some experts to give me some answers

It looks fine to me.
I'm new to growing so if something doesn't look "normal" to me I panic. Nice to hear from someone else that it looks ok. Do the young fan leaves normally roll down at the edges like that? I'm sure they'll spread out once they're bigger

Could be heat stress, could be over watering, could be under watering. Leaves curling down means the plant isn’t happy. At that stage you should only be giving a shot glass of water a day. Looks like coco, so maybe 2 shot glasses. 1 in the morning and one at night. But if the soil is still wet, stick to 1

Nitrogen toxicity will show as extremely green leaves and just the tips of the leaves will curl down. That's definitely not the issue. New growers tend to love their plants to death. Watering too often is common. If they are in hot soil every time you put water in will cause them to feed. Too much water alone is bad, couple that with them getting too much food and it won't end well.

Is there a way I could "rinse" out some of the fertilizer in the soil?

It will eventually be used up from normal watering. Small plant small amount of water. You could very lightly water once a day for now with a small plant. Give it a chance to dry out first. Soil needs a wet to dry cycle before becoming wet again in order for the roots to get oxygen and not suffocate. Once it gets bigger and put in a bigger pot it probably will only need to be watered every couple of days. Good luck.
