I've ran into this as well (I use the same soil). Just keep using plain water and they should bounce back just fine as they get a little bigger.
This is what they looked a few days after transplant:
The damaged leaves wont just heal themselves but it'll grow out of it fine as long as your not over feeding them:

That's why I never use any commercial mixes containing "enough nutrients for 3 or more months" . They put granules of slow release fertilizer into the mix( slow release fert is bad for weed) which cause burn if the roots get to it.
I make my own mix being "burned" many times by commercial mixes, sometimes the most expensive ones are the worst ones. Number 1 junk mix is Miracle Grow.
Canadian peat moss is the best proven over the years base to build quality mix from ground up. It is cheap, available, has anti fungal properties. Just needs little PH up adjustment.
I was never disappointed using it in mine 30 years broad gardening experience.

Fox Farms is good stuff the trick is grow them in Dixie cups first then when they are big enough you transplant them into the Fox Farms soil and watch them explode with growth. No need for added nutrients until flowering also.

Lake Racerboy said FFOF does not have time release fertilizer. It's just a really good organic medium loaded with organic ferts. It's probably a bit on the hot side for babies but plants will adapt and end up loving it.
I'm not a huge FF advocate or anything but it is obviously pretty good stuff.
