Yep what he said, keep an eye on it.
If it gets worse or spreads then you got yourself a problem.
How many times do u water?

Well first of all lay off the nutes... dont keep fertilizing it when the plant is that stressed.
It looks like nute burn.. could be wrong but it really looks like it. Wait tell the soil dries, then flush the soil with clean water... no ferts. water it tell you see it draining from the bottom of your pot.
Do this twice and by the second watering you should see improvements. It cant hurt anything to do this because its only two waterings.. youll have it on ferts again by the time its lacking nutrients.
Its just a good way to tell... If it doesnt stop yellowing then its something else.

watering everyday isnt a good idea. If the soil is soaked all the time the roots could suffocate.

Ok if you have not fertilized at all... then its going to be some sort of deficiency.
Nitrogen deficiency will cause yellowing of the leaves like that and if you water every day
then thats probably what it is. When you water dont really worry about putting too much
water in the pot at once... just pour tell it drains from the bottom.
As long as the soil dries out before the next watering you really cant over water the plant.
Overwatering is the condition where you are watering too often... Like I said dont worry about how much water
is poured each time... just worry about doing it too often. That will cause serious root rot and is hard to revert once its done.
I mean this could be a magnesium deficiency or something like that but as young as they are I highly doubt it. I have
vegged plants using no fertilizer up to a month with no problems.
