Is this Nute burn?

First True leaves have dies off and now the next set of leaves are stating to darken and turn and little yellow.
Looks overwatered to me. I don't see any sign of nutrient burn. How often are you watering what are you in, I'm assuming soil. What soil or other substrate? What are your lights and ambient temps.

Looks like it. But I'm a newbie so I don't know to much. Good luck though
Please don't give advice until you know what you are looking at.

I am in black gold seedling mix and have been watering every 2-3 days. Ambient temps are 76-78 during the day and 72 at night. I’m using a 600w led (135 actual watt) 18” away.

You need more light or water less. Transpiration is a direct function of light, I wish you the very best with your grow.

Definitely droopy, they're supposed to be ...........today ww auto.jpg
Those cardboard pots are always a mistake (IMHO), make watering difficult, the roots don't seem to like them much.
Time to move into a larger plastic pot anyway.

I plan on moving to a 1 gallon fabric smart pot in the morning
Was just replying to your first post to say get them into something else ASAP. Find small plastic pots for your next batch as I've never seen much good come from those peat pots.

Best to let the soil dry to hold the root ball together when you repot tho you can cut those pots off, then throw them away. :)

I bet they start looking better in a few days and are likely root bound in those pots by now.

Good luck!

:peace:

Really? More light will cause the plant to grow faster which will raise the transpiration rate gradually but I've always considered RH to be much more influential on the rate.

If the RH gets too high the transpiration grinds to a halt then the plant can't move any water and basically stops growing like it does when CO2 runs out. If the RH is always too low the plants goes thru a lot more water and draws up more nutes than it can process so stores them in the leaves until it literally burns itself up with Toxic Salts Buildup. I've had a lot of trouble with that one.

Just my 2¢.

Thanks for the advice, will definitely get rid of the peat pots. First time using and I am not a fan.
