Seedlings don't need any nutrients for a good 12 days at least. Stop giving nutrients, water when dry, it will grow out of it.

Bud leaves turned black
Top leaves turned brown overnight, That day I did come home to a disturbing temp off 31oC . It’s the black Mini leaves in buds that are worrying me more. lights came on accidentally for two hours so gave her 16hrs dark and back to 12/12 This may have contributed.

Organic peat control
I think my plant is being eaten but gnats and it looks like nutrient damage on it but I haven’t given ANY nutrients to it. What should I do? Can you diagnose my plant? Any remedies? I heard cayenne pepper can be used for a pesticide is there other things? Does Neem oil work well?

At what stage do leaves get darker ? This is confusing
I overwatered them at the beginning of veg and then I fed them with 0.7 ec nutes max, EC would go up if I gave more. I've had tips burning probably from light too close. I find that leaves are pretty dark but it may be because of the strains. When leaves do get darker in flo ?

What's Happening to my Glookies? Lower Growth Yellowing with Grey/Light Brown Spots.
Yellowing with grey/light brown spots occurring on the Glookies plants (starting from the tip of the leaf). I believe it may be due to the Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil mix but any advice or input on what is possibly happening is greatly appreciated. Fingers also fused together.
