Yeah I've never had prob's with 
OF being "too hot" with seedlings. I was convinced it was the problem with my grows, but the more I learn/research, the more I realize it's "me" not the medium. In fact, OF seems pretty darn ideal for indoor auto grows, especially if you don't have room for bags of additives and the space to mix all that stuff and store it etc..., My plants have always loved it, grow super fast, and I can just water them for 3 weeks usually, maybe one or two "Grow" feedings, then right into bloom nutes quite heavily.
My issues with it have been when the soil breaks down in 25-30 days and my ph goes whacky. I'm hoping the addition of some pulverized lime solves that for the most part and gets them through that critical transitional phase I've been struggling with. It's just easy stuff to grow with and comes in small bags for $9 where I live - can't beat it really, especially if you're a new grower. I'm not sure why people are so harsh on it, but I've found people on MJ forums tend to bash anything commercial or widely used as "over-priced junk" etc..., and I take that with a grain of salt. Not everyone can mix and set-up big grow rooms, or have the time to mess with experimenting etc...,
But I do agree that there are waaaay too many nutes and options out there that are unnecessary, and cost way too much.
