They look ok to me. What is concerning about them? I grow in soil organically so I don’t check pH but I thought a pH that low was more for hydro grows.

this is the one that makes me think something is off with the ph. and the red veins and stems on the others

pH affects nutrient uptake but at this point, the seedlings are ‘feeding’ off the cotyledons. I still think they look ok. Your pics look kinda red to me(probably your grow light?). It could be genetics maybe.
 
They look pretty normal. I agree with fogey on all counts. Just remember starting in oversized pots that you've gotta be mindful not to overwater -a little squirt right around the base of the plant now and then is plenty - and that the plant is going to put a lot of its energy into building a root system. So you may feel like not much is going on with it above ground but it's like a duck paddling frantically underwater as it glides quietly around the lake.
A pH closer to 6.5-6.8 is better for coco blends managed as a potted grow. A hair lower than true soil but not by much. And seedlings do well started in smaller pots where you can micromanage them.
So far so good!
 
Yes I prefer starting in smaller pots like a solo cup and I usually wait till the plant leaf spread is larger than the cup before transplanting...easier to keep the moisture level right...plants look good though...
 
Looking good to me. Can't wait to see how this progresses...
 
update day 11 gave first feed 60ppm changed light from 24hr to 18 6
