Nah probably lack of calcium

I think seedlings are supposed to be 18-24” with led. They need very little light tbh a cfl 23 watt phillips 6500k works the best right up till plants entering final veg.

I can’t really see but it looks nutrient related

They are planted in FF oceans soil. I wouldn't think it would be a calcium def. or nutrient related.

check your ph, and ppm,, ffos is hottttt

its either your ph is off, or the of is burning them.. i personally wouldnt use ocean forest for seedlings.. way to hot, unless you flush it a few times..

15 days

If your nutes are hot and your light is close your asking for issues. Veg. Is the easy phase they only need 5000lumans for a long time.

I think that's another question i'm using the full spectrum of light on them, should i just use the veg light?

Ocean forest isn’t that hot at all. I put small plants in soil much hotter with no issues.

Full spectrum you have one? Use it

Could it be i got some water on the leaves, and didn't know it?

These are my thoughts. I was going to say the same thing. To the OP: Be careful when watering, if you do spill droplets on the leaves, you can try to flick or rub off the bead gently if you can.

Light looks like a decent distance, they will grow nice and squat with thick stems. I'd personally probably raise it a tad and see how they respond. Yeah I think I'd raise it a bit. It's when they stop stretching, you know you hit the sweet spot.

I think for now i will flush the girls and raise the light to around 20" and see what happens. I would rather be on the safe side for now. and i will pay more attention when watering them. First grow with the led light.

Please dont flush those ladies. They are fine. It was only water splashage on the leaves that caused them to burn.

5000 lumens lmao
