i don't have experience with that one but an inert seed starter is preferred over soil when they are that small. Some will manage, some won't

Seedlings dont need nutrients for first week or so of sprouting, they produce those first round leaves (cotyledons) as a food storage if they need it, dirtweevil is correct blank soils are much better to sprout in. I sprout my seeds in a coco with RO water and they show nute burn right from sprout. Sometimes seeds just do that but I feel like you will have alot of issues with your soil. I would try to flush it alot to gt some of the ppms down or carefully transplant it into a lighter nutrient mix.

She looks fine. Seedlings need to adjust to their environment sometimes and their roots are weak so even watering can stress them.
Happy frog is better with 20-25% large perlite added for drainage. It also helps to break up the clumps in the bag and mix well before using.
Do not add nutes for a couple of weeks at least until they show they need a light starter dose. and do not water til the cup feels very light.

the last posts hit the nail on the head... your guilty of over loving your babies 
defo hold on the nutrients for a couple weeks and make sure your water has been left to sit for 24hours before use. depending on your lighting and room temps watering should be every few days to atleast %5 run off.,

most potting soils have a lot of nutrients in them to begin with, even the ones tailored for seedlings have minimal. a lot of new growers often miss this and skip straight to watering with nutrient as thats what the bottle tells them to do...
