If you're talking about those two little leaves at the bottom no need to worry. Those are codeyledons and their purpose is to hold nutrients for the seedling stage, once their purpose is fulfilled its completely normal for them to die off. Happy growing!

Bottom leafs getting dryThe last two pictures show some sights of deficiency after getting a little bit dry before repotting. Any recommendations: should I do something? I will definitely use some ph-down and water with 6.0 to 6.5 ph to help the microorganism get going :)Week 3

Upper growth leaves and buds on one plant are burnt. I attributed this to light damage and raised them up a few inches. If anyone has any alternative thoughts or suggestions about how to minimize existing damage that would be great. Other bud sites look fine.Week 7
