I honestly don't know how folks have determined your soil is too hot... there's no information on what the soil contains! And I honestly don't think you have anything to worry about at this stage - this seems like a non-issue for me and I'd tell you to just continue with the grow as you have been doing... the lights seem to be at a good height - certainly not too close to the plants - and you don't indicate that you're giving her any nutes yet so unless you're using soil that has a lot of nutrients added into it, I don't see the problem! I'd give her another week or two and reassess... It's early days! Good luck...

I have seen this on some of my plants before, for me it was because the light was to close. It is very similar to nutrient burn as when the light get to close it causes the plant to suck in more water to optimize the process of photosynthesis. If there is a moderate amount of nutrients that gets sucked up as well the plant can't use them. But if the light was further away it would not have burned though that much water and thus the nutritious in the soil would not quickly bulkd up to cause an overload and burn the tips. Granted the same thing can happen from just to much feed when the lights are in a good spot like other have suggested below as the cause of this. Best to give it water and hope for the best. Would say to flush it out if the plant was a bit bigger but doing that with a smaller one can cause the roots to become waterlogged and damange the new growth.

High Breezybombaf, The soil that you use got to much nutritions for a seedling. The next time it is better to use so called Light Mix Soil for the first 2 weeks. Happy Growing! 😋

@Breezybombaf it means that the growing medium is a little too hot ie too much nutrition for baby plants young seedlings especially autos do not need much in the way of feeds for the first week or two dont try to flush soil as it will just make things worse . I'd suggest just giving them water sparingly until they have atleast 3 sets of leaves grown out
