Good choice in my opinion (I use it) lol I add about 15/20% perlite even to the hp - I start seeds and use it thru whole cycle usually no nutes needed for a few weeks, after each uppot.I've been learning on the fly, so although I will be growing in pro-mix hp with fabric pots, this seedling ("Bruce Banner" fem auto from Sweet Seeds / Herbies) was misguidedly started in a peat pellet. I think that may be why she started off so slowly, but seems to be picking up steam now...
You asked earlier if you planted it deep enough, the answer is too much in this case. I recommend a full day after the 24 hour soak in water, to let the seed hang out for 24 or 48 hours in a humid paper towel, then carefully bring out the peat starter plug and place it on top. You can go low fi here by keeping plastic around the baby seedling to keep the humidity up. For warmth you can use a heating pad or put it on top of your refrigerator to keep temps warm 24/7. Don't let the plug get saturate or too moist, and it won't dry out very fast if the sides are in a tray/covered.She straightening herself out and I can see two little leaves inside the cotyledons.
Is it me or do they look like they're a little yellow at the tips? Is this normal / ok or do I already have some soil / water issues?

What soil are you transplanting her into? If its a premixed soil chances are it has plenty of nutrients to carry her for a few weeks after the transplant.I think by the end of the week I might pop this plant into a three gallon fabric pot and start a very diluted feeding regimen, with Fox Farm and Foop foliar feeding spray.
