For some reason, most of my seedling look like green hooded pitchers.

unless it is a straight cross, likely no. they will change alot in the next year or 2, mind you, you will be able to get a good idea of what will come out of it, but final colour, venation, even the true pitcher shape will take some time to finalize. Feeding a few key plants may speed it up.

These are my Sarr seedlings.
1- my guess is they are 3 months old, could be mislabeled (big - S. flava, med - S. psitt., small - S. alata, left - Darlingtonias)

2 - These are the same seedlings 1yr old (at the rear - left S. psitt., right - S.flava, 16cm hight), front - 6 months old Sarracenia seedlings

3 - Still the same 1 yr old Sarr. (labeled as psittasina) started show pattern on the hood last month

4 - Next are 6 months old seedlings from the front row (should be labeled correctly):
High one - S. Flava (Beta fish food inside):

No artificial feeding until last 2-3 weeks, they were outside all summer and had insects. Indoor fast growth was noticed after sunny days and after a week of fungus gnats flying around.
Foliar feeding was done once, about 2-3 wks ago, sprayed ~1/4 strength Miracid, not impressed by results, may be need more. It also can be applied on the pitcher surface with Q-tip.
Few days after tried fish food in one pitcher per plant. IMHO, it was less efficient than fungus gnats.
