In week 5 I figured out that the real issues I've been having with this grow wasn't over-watering. It was light burn. As my first LED run, I continuously underestimate this SF-2000 and had it at 100% at 16" in early veg when it should be at about 40% at 30" in early veg. I pushed it WAY too hard, burned all my leaves, which stunted the plants completely. Since they weren't growing, they drank almost no water and remained water-logged (why I thought I must be over-watering but couldn't figure out why as I never had that problem with the same Ocean Forest before). From being water-logged, they then showed various other deficiencies / toxicities which made it hard for me to trace the problem back to light stress. Finally figured it out last week and they spent last week getting over all the stress, expanding their roots, and growing a few new leaves. This week they're finally putting out new growth, very exciting! I've topped all 4 plants at least once now and can't wait until they finish getting over all the stress and really start taking off. Many of the light-stressed leaves have already been replaced and cut off, so we're building the foundation for some real growth now even though they're still SO small for end of week 6. Look like 2 week old plants, but hey, I'm figuring out this light which is what's important.

Don't think they should be deficient in anything yet, they're in new Ocean Forest soil and only on day 11 of veg, no way they used up what's in the soil yet. More details in my grow diary comment.

This is damage caused by the leaves hitting either the edge of the pot or the soil surface when the fan blows on them and generally at night when the leaves are lowered. Nothing much to be concerned over. Filling your pots right up to the top would give more room for root growth. Hope this helps,.............. Organoman.

Does the yellowing between the veins on these lower leaves look like a magnesium deficiency?

I agree, looks like mag. Be careful when removing leaves as if the deficiency is not corrected she will start taking nutrients from another leaf. Causing more damage to the plant. I'd leave them on for a a little longer in future. You can cut the dead bits off without issue, if you like. Hope this helps 🙂

@SegaYGriega, aw thank you! They've come a long way since I fried and stunted them in the early weeks while figuring out the LED light strength and proper distance 😄 now they're cruising 😎
