You shouldn't be giving them plant food yet. Secondly, you're probably overwatering. Don't water until the soil dries out a little. Don't foliar spray either, at least not until they recover. I like to spray no more than once every 3-4 days and near the end of the photo period.

its likely that the water filter, coupled with boiling, has reduced your waters' micronutrients to non-existent levels. try your tap water (unless its toxic :blsmoke:)

or, also likely, you've overwatered and/or nuted them too fast. i don't think plants that young should be seeing any nutes. you could try cutting back the nutes to 1/4 or 1/2 strength.

last guess is root bound/pot bound. let the soil dry a bit and remove the rootball. probably time for a transplant

good luck
stay safe

Cut the nutrients for a short while, the yellowing is the beginning of burn and the leaves are showing overwatering. Try to let your medium run dry to close to, and then water. Make the plants roots stretch and search out the water. I wait usually until third or forth week until I start with my nutrient schedule. Try giving your medium a clean water flush and let the plant work mate. Good luck with the grow, keep us posted

as everyone has said before. You shouldnt feed the plants for at least 2 weeks from sprouting. After that 2 week period you can beging to feed them Small amounts of nutes, then gradually increase the dose every week. Follow the instructions. Less is better.

You dont want to over feed/water your plants.
