Hey there, you're actually overwatering ! You can tell from the puffy leafs and the downwards drooping you're seeing. You shouldnt be watering daily, you need to wait a few days between each watering for the soil to get dry. That's because the wet/dry cycle is really important for the microbiol life in the soil. At your size pot you should water less than 2L ever 3 to 4 days. There are a few way you can use to see if you need to water : the lifting method or the hygrometer method. Just get a cheap hygrometer, stick it in the soil, and it gives you a reading. Otherwise lift your pots when they are dry then water them, lift them again make a note of the weights and use those to tell if you need to water or not. If you use these methods you will never over water again. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Hi @Scandigrow! Too much water and spraying led to this situation. In high temps you should water and spray at night. Such young seedlings only need a cup of water once in a while and no spray at all, or the roots and the leaves won't be able to breath. Your roots need to alternate between wet and dry cycle, so stop watering+spraying for a few days and see how it goes. Hope this will help, happy growing! 👊

Don't worry about that. Worry about why they are burnt. I really hope that the 8 liters of water every 24 hours is some kind of tippo or mistake, else those poor seedlings are drowning. Also, worry about those temperatures. Those temperatures below 10°C (50°F) can kill the plants. Actually the leave damage might be due low temperatures.

I would leave them for now and trim them when you do your next high stress training (top). I don't like having damaged leaves on my plants, but if they get damaged early, I will leave it. You don't want to cause more stress on the plant then the burn caused and more leaves, especially in early veg, will promote healthier/faster growth. Good luck and happy growing!💪

I wouldn't trim them, I would try getting a clear plastic cup and putting some nice ventilation holes in it and use it to try and keep the humidity up around the plant while not having to overwater it. the green parts of those leaves should still be working, and trimming a plant that young would be very risky. it should grow out of it, and likely get crispier at some point when the plant has gotten big enough that its decided it doesn't need that damaged bottom leaf anymore, then that's when I would go ahead and just take it off
