Hi there.. the leaves look wet, which means you just watered them, right? I wouldn't do that when the lights are on (or try to avoid getting water onto the leaves), because just like when you use a magnifying glass in the sun, the droplets can burn into the leaves and make marks.. The soil also looks quite wet, but it can be because it was just watered. Overwatering can lead to droopy leaves, so i would wait with the next watering until the soil is totally dry again, and then just water a little.. such a small plant doesn't need a lot of water yet. happy growing :)

Looks low on light, heavy on nutes and water.

Don't get the leaves wet when you water. If you are spraying the leaves, stop doing that as you will only create an environment that breeds microbial growth on the leaves surface. They will also burn from the light/leftover nutes after evaporation in that condition too. Hit the reset button. Lightly flush medium and react to what you see over the next few days rather than proactively dumping something into your medium. You can easily adjust to a slgiht fade with fertilizer. A toxicity on the other hand is much harder to deal with. pH test the water and soil slurry (or runoff). an improper pH can potentially cause any and all toxicities and deficiencies. Even if you are adding properly pH'd water and fertilized water, it could be raised or lowered by the soil's flora. so, if the runoff or soil slurry is different, you know the soil chemistry is causing that and can adjust, if needed. e.g. garden lime can raise pH toward 7. Other things can help lower soil pH. In general, the soil should provide a good buffer to slow pH changes when in good health. This is why it's a more forgiving medium than most other options. They are young, and imperfections are much more common. Better to wait and watch than do anything drastic. If your 3-5-7+ blades are odd looking in the coming week or two, you can start to thing about doing something, but still wait unless it's clearly dying.
