    Looks cool, good work. 3 fingers and 4 fingers are normal during this early stage. It is also normal to look green like this in the beginning even if your PH is completely wrong.  Go on amazon and get a PH meter so you can prepare your water.

    Make sure the bottom of those containers have holes in them so it can drain well.
     
    Then, fill up a empty milk gallon with tap water and add the prescribed amount of fertilizer. Shake it up really good and let it sit for 24 hours so the chlorine in tap water will evaporate.  Then water your plants and they should get darker green.   
     
    If  your budget allows it, buy an organic fertilizer for veg stage, it will make everything easier because you don't need to worry about over fertilizing with chemical miracle-gro. You will also eventually need an organic fertilizer for when you put it in 12/12 budding stage. 

    Nice plants!
