You can transplant, and the best thing to do is mix one bag of Ocean Forest to one bag of Light Warrior which equates to about 60% OF and 40% LW. Transplant into that. Ocean Forest alone is pretty hot.

thanks,would you happen to know roughly how long it would be before i can start adding any nutes? I have grow big,big bloom,tiger bloom,kangaroots,microbrew,and should i use hormex when transplanting if so should i use quart/half/or full recomended measurements?

i always like to wait about three or four weeks when i use straight ffof for seedlings before i feed them at all.. i read all of the time people who say that ocean forest is too hot for seedlings, but i've been using it for like three years now, and never burn anything.. i also don't feed them for around a month or so, so maybe that is what i'm doing differently..
as far as how much to feed them, i'd say about 1/4 of what ff's says on the bottles, and every week bump it up another 1/4, so that after one month of feeding you would be at full strength..

My advice would be to ditch the Grow Big and Tiger Bloom. Use them for foliar, maybe. IDF like going on about the issue with them at the moment, but Light Warrior + Ocean Forest = a living soil mix and those liquid nutrients are less conducive to that. It is also easier to burn with them.
I can't say I have ever had a plant suffer due to Ocean Forest ever; and I mix in more guano and general purpose organic fertilizer before I transplant the larger ones.

Big Bloom is just fine, it is completely organic and has low NPK so it is much more difficult to over use. Assuming you are watering properly and everything the plants will tell you when they need to be fed. But if you use the Big Bloom you could probably start with light feedings a couple weeks post transplant.

i like to leave them under the t5's for as long as possible.. i'd say two or three weeks or so.. i'm sure others may say sooner, but i don't see the need to fire the big bulbs up at such a young age, and they seem to do great under the t5's from what i've grown..
