Help with seedling

So my indoor-grown seedling is about a week old. It's not as big as I would like it to be, but anyways. The problem is that I'm noticing the tips getting a bit brown. I don't think it could be due to lack of water, because the soil is still moist. Maybe the light source is burning the leaves? Or perhaps i need to flush the soil because of over fertilization? I'm not sure. This is my first time. Any ideas? I have attached two pictures of my seedling.

im still no expert on this, but to my best knowledge you should not be giving your seedlings ANY fertilizers at this life stage, it's too early. just balanced PH water.
wait with the ferts until you see several more sets of leaves.

You started using ferts way to early. You don't feed a newborn a t-bone, don't do it to your girls :)

If it helps any your not the first person to do that and you won't be the last. But good on ya for letting us know you were using ferts. Wade through the threads and you'll find a lot of growers with overfert problems that insist they didn't use any. Eh, live and learn.

I'll chime in...no ferts for about 3 weeks...I think you've gotten the message as many have learned in the past. Since you brought it up, what kind of light(s) are you using?

Yes, how close you put the lights depends on what your using. CFL"s inches away HPSor Led about 18 inches.
