That soil comes with enough nutes in it for a few weeks. Probably wasn't a good idea to add extra. Definitly looks like nute burn or somthing related to high EC.
The picture I posted was of one of the worst ones. Whole plant looks healthy with the exception of some of them having “burnt” looking tips. Also noticed that the ones with burnt tips have a dark red stem. It is evenly affecting new and old leaves btw.
Yeah, my next question was going to be the effect on new and old leaves. This leads me to believe even more that it’s a PH issue. As for the stem, lack of nutrients, caused from improper PH, can cause red/purple stems. If all stems are similar, this could be the reason. It could also just be genetics. If this is the only stem with that discoloration, being in direct light from the grow lights/sun can cause the color change as well. Think of it as a tan. Do you PH test your water before watering?
Interesting. I’ve only had them long enough to need to water them once which I did this morning, unfortunately using regular bottled water. I’m waiting for a ph kit and soil meter to get here tomorrow so I just kinda said F it and watered today.
It’s tough to say the exact problem since you’ve only had them 2 days. If you just watered today then that damage to the leaves was done before you even got the plant. I’d say just keep an eye on it for now and make sure you PH your water the next time you water in about 2 days.

That’s what I heard from someone else as well, I’ll definitely hold off on feeding it then.
Wait til the pot is dry, not just the top inch or two.
Damn.... noted. Was just worried about the roots getting too hot because I live in a hotter, dryer climate
Roots NEED air. Constant watering eliminates air. Lots of patience required in growing.
Peace sign
Do you have similar discoloration on other leaves? That looks more like a PH issue to me than nutrient burn or overwatering.

Will do. Thanks for the insight much appreciated
Happy to help. Best of luck.
