Looks like a bit of nutrient burn to me.

What have you been feeding? People are quick to point to a deficiency which may well be the case but the cause of the deficiency might not be from a lack of nutrients but from an overabundance of nutrients which can cause nutrient lockouts. The symptoms of a deficiency or lockout can appear the same. That's why you need to provide more detail regarding your grow. Nutrient strength and feeding schedule specifically.

Not feeding any bites. Just using living soil.

Probably copper or another micro mineral

I agree with some of the above...you're skirting her close to the edge of 'too much'...but don't stop what you're doing; it's where you want to be, if you can manage it. Otherwise, relax and good luck.

How did they end up looking? potentially looks like nute burn, but if look at the yellow tips how they continued to yellow further down past just the leaf tips it is more likely a deficiency.
mild nute burn usually yellows just the tips and burns just the tips brown but doesn't progress down the leaf unless you wrecked them.
if you look at the new growth it is very pale and is contorted and very thin, leads me to think zinc like
@Nickcg123 suggested.
Zinc deficiency: yellowing tips, progresses into yellow/pale leaf margins on the newer growth which become small,thin and twisted.
tap water generally has enough zinc to avoid a deficiency so its more likely other causes. Zinc deficiency can occur from excess phosphorus, extreme PH and stressors such as over watering cold soil and transplant shock. Most of the issues you can fix simply by giving straight water and ensuring your growing medium drys out sufficiently between watering, give it a week and the plant will very likely work itself out and you will notice it recover from the deficit.
I had a wedding cake pheno that if i wasnt careful how much water and nutes i gave her access too during transplant would have a hissy fit and stop drinking, yellow tips then the margins of new growth would go pale. wrinkled leaves and contorted new growth. I got some chelated zinc from a buddy of mine who is a chemist, he used it for some crazy galvanizing process for motorcycles he built. Foliar sprayed against a control. Bam 2 days later the ones i spritzed were fucking killing it again and the others looks crinkled with leaf margin chlorosis. However I left them alone and did nothing but let them dry up before straight water and they fixed themself in a week.
