I'd suggest you don't transplant so quickly after you see some growth - let your roots get a more firm grasp on their growing medium. Continuous transplants can stress the plant more than help it. As far as the brown leaves go, the "rounded" ones are the cotyledons, the primitive 1st generation leaf set to help the plant grab enough light energy to form regular leaves. They usually die off fairly early in vegetative growth. If your regular 3+ fingered leaves are dying however, you may have a few problems. In all liklihood, either your light is too close and thus too hot for them; you have added too many nutrients to the soil and burned it; or you have underwatered. I'll leave it to you to decide, but suggest you grab a copy of the Cannabis Grower's Bible as soon as you can - it should have everything a beginner should know in it as well as a very nice problem solving chapter (check yo' PM's)

Glad I could help.. if your leaves have already recovered, I assume it was just stress from the transplant that may have made your plant look a little down. These plants are quite resilient though, or so I've been led to believe.

Yup, roots are cool. . . . . . 
You can start adding light nutrients after your seedlings have grown for a week or three - it's really up to you. Keep in mind there are different styles of feeding that you may be able to implement earlier than some others ( www.overgrow.com ). Just remember to start out with a diluted solution (50% or less of the recommended dose). If your stalks are leaning too much, then by all means tie 'em up. Make a habit of training your plant's growth - strings are your friend, they can improve a grow immensely if used well. Also, keep a fan on your seedlings at a strong enough velocity to keep 'em swaying back and forth or jerking every few seconds.. this will promote a nice thick stalk.

Nice plants Cubieman  I suggest as many transplants as you need. If you find that your plant has stopped growing and is drinking water like a fish (everyday)... then that's probably a sign you should think about a bigger growing medium.
