Is it rootbound already? It cant be time to start feeding already, its only a week old.
 
nothings wrong with it. looks fine. the round leaves are turning slightly yellow but untill they start to srivvle up and die, and your main leaves start turning yellow they should be okay for feeding. just keep an eye on them. but as i said everything seems fine.
 
It was 2 inches from the light when it started to yellow

Why is that such a dumb question? The cups are all of 5 inches tall and its been a week.
 
I agree, to early for the kim leaf`s to yellow, do you run low RH and water a lot with Tap water ? and do your Tap keep a lot of Ca (calcium) ?

might be a PH issue ? to alkaline soil might lock out the Mg/N even this early, I had one of this with a RH on 30% in a small Cup had to water every day, used Tap as usually, but since the water did evaporate so quickly I added to much Ca in a very short time, top soil looked a bit like yours, had to make a quick repot in to a bigger pot with fresh soil and mist em with PH spring water with a bit of Epsom salt for a few day to turn it around ..

Ive been watering with distilled. And the humidity has been abnormally low for this time of year (25-35%). Time to repot you think?

.
 
it would normally be to early, but on the other hand it wont really hurt it, just do it carefull she wont have much root going at this stages ..

and with a low RH like that and a seedling I would mist her once or twice a day to help here cope until she is settled and have some more growth/root growth going ..

if you have ? you could add a bit of Epsom salt and/or seaweed (a drop) to the misting bottle, seems like she is in lack of food

btw

what kind of soil is your in ?
 
I have Epsom salt but no misting bottle yet.

A random bag of organic...earthgro? I think it's made by scotts. I know you're not supposed to switch soils but I haven't had time to go to the hydro store. I plan on using ffof when I put them into buckets
