Magnesium deficiency, likely due to pH lockout as the plants are this young. Transplant it.

Or it's the beginning of nute burn. You're the one watering and feeding.
 
well today i transplanted them into bigger pots im sure that helps too but what nute should i look for for now im on a budget so im shopping locally like lowes walmart dome depot places like that so if you can let me now

Appears to be cal/mag issue. You say no nutes as of yet, what kind of soil are you in? Most store bought potting soils have nutes in them already. What are you using to water? (Tap, distilled, RO?) Distilled and RO have no minerals in them and will cause cal/mag issues in many cases. try a tbsp of Epsom salts next water and look at the new growth. If those edges are crispy they're gone, but the plant will survive. Lock outs are caused either by pH or an overabundance of another nutrient. I doubt it's that. could be wrong tho........It's been known to happen

Prolly. It's still all good, just water with the epsom and watch the new growth. Should be fine after that. Just give it some Epsom salts every few waterings.

Transplant them into better pots and if the leaves get worse cut them off not all of them but just the ones ur worried about you will be fine.
