Pics, Onset of a issue or nothing to sweat?

I hope I'm just over reacting, but I want to know if this is a issue before it's too late, I just want to be proactive you know? These are two Thai Super Skunks going on 3 weeks tomorrow from the time that the seeds cracked.
I transplanted them from some MG seed starting mix (which they seemed to like) last Saturday and then these small discolorations appeared a couple days later. I transplanted into a mix of Happy Frog and Oceans Forest about 65% OF and the rest HF. Are the plants just a little shocked from the new dirt? If so why? This soil should be fine for them. Any ideas what this might be? I've given the plants no nutes what so ever yet, only ph'ed water (about 6.5).
Much appreciation in advance, happy growing!

it's probably just a bit of burn. happy frog runs hot and it takes a bit for the plants to get used to it. don't sweat it unless all the leaves start getting it.

That's funny you say that, some people tell me that OF runs hot and others say that HF runs hot, i get both sides of the coin, I finally settled on HF being the less hot of the two, but i figured that OF was a better dirt because it cost more for less of it. At any rate I didn't think that either would burn these babies after two weeks old. I mixed it OF heavy because I figured what when I did my final transplant I would mix it that way and I wanted the plants to be acclimated to the soil. I guess I'm getting what I asked for then, better I see it now I guess then when I'm weeks into flower....
any other idea's or is it for sure just hot dirt doing this? Notice the yellowing of the first set of leaves as well, these plants should be healthy as a horse. wtf?

Possibly the beginning of a magneseum def. Earth Juice Microblast used about every 3 or 4 weeks it great at correcting/preventing. Or just good old epsom salts would help. Your new soil mix should help some also. Even with FF soils. I still add about 1-2 tablespoons of epsom salts per gallon of mix too help things out.

This started after I transplanted into my new soil, I don't know how long it takes something to show in the leaves of the plant but I would think that after more than 48 hour in the new dirt it would be enjoying what it has to offer, not getting burned by it. Any special type of epsom salt? over the counter at wallgreens and from my local nursery going to have any differences?

Walgreens or Walmart. Just water soluble epsoms salts. They ame stuff you soak your feet in! You can use it as a foilar spray. 1 tps. per qt. Drench 1 to 1 1/2 tsp per gal. Mixed with soil before planting. 2 Tbls per gal of mix. And you are correct. This problem most likely began before transplant.

That MG seed started is the weakest stuff that they make, that's scary to think that it was still burning my plants even after being out of it for 48 almost 36 hours....
I don't see how that's possible for it to start burning that long afterwards, but hey, you seem to know your stuff so I'll trust ya fo sho. Thanks buddy
