could be burned from the soil....could be the strain... wait it out.... or change the soil to some un-nuted soil until week 3, raise the lights, could be too intense too soon....try some of those out and see what happens.

thanks sunny +rep
i think i just might be the soil as it says on the back "contains enough nutes to last 8 weeks"
when buying the soil i just took for granted that it was nute free because it was sowing and potting soil, silly me.
il raise the light another inch also but dont want them getting to leggy like my last batch.
cheers dude.

or is it highly advisable to change immediately.

They might bounce back if left in the soil... i've used nuted soil for seedlings and never had a problem.. i usually use 3-4 inchs of soil in a solo cup when doing seedlings and transplant...
