hey there, when using dry nutrients to amend your soil always make sure the plant can handle it. Usually for dry nutes the nutrient company assumes the plant is beyond seedling stage. That's because at the seedling stage the plant can't handle much through it's under developped root system. That's actually why you got nutrient burn . Careful watering until run off, run off means you're loosing nutrients, and if you're a pre amended (like me), you actually dont want any run off. So the problem has stopped spreading, next time do a transplant and you'll avoid this situation as well as accelerate the growth. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Hi! It's a small nute burn. From your soil. Soil has some nutrients in them and those are good for first two-three weeks for young seedling. So wait couple weeks before start adding any nutrients. Happy growing!

Hi @BookiesandBream! Too much Nitrogen led to this situation. Take it easy with nutrients, such young seedlings don't need high doses of Nitrogen before week ~3. In this situation I would flush the medium with a very light solution, maybe 2ml/L, and see how it goes after a few days. For the first weeks of a plant, less is more, it's way easier to fix a slight deficiency than to recover from a slight toxicity. Hope this will help, keep us updated and happy growing! 👊
