Hey and welcome to RIU
You sure your promix doesn't have some ferts in it??
Looks like the start of some nute burn possibly...

Hey man. Thanks for the welcome and reply.

I'm positive it doesn't have nutes. It's promix potting soil for seedlings. It's got peat moss, vermiculite, and perlight. Not lookin at the bag right now so I may have missed something, but no nutes for sure.

And lights are 6500k.

It's got me stumped.

Yeah man I still think you got some nutes in your soil.
id say transplant to soil you know FOR SURE (read the bag fully)
flushing may fix and may kill them since their roots may be drowned and it can cause extended release ferts to become more dissolved, burning them more.

hmmm, alright, it looks like maybe your overwatering if its not nuteburn(which it looks like it is but i guess its not) maybe your worrying over nothing? but then again you also say its getting worse? im kinda stumped. their must be something im overlooking but i cant think of anything we didnt go over already and rule out.

I dont think its overwatering. I've only watered once in the 10 days since sprout and the soil was still moist this morning about 1/2 inch deep.

Only thing I can think of is maybe it was a bit too close to the lights. I've moved another inch away.

I'll update once I see any sort of chages, for better or worse.
