Looks like mag deficiency. Bring ph back up to 6.5 with your waterings and make sure temps are around 65.

This is probably an annoying question, but you aren’t leaving your leaves wet, are you? I see water drops hanging out on the leaves. What are the others looking like?

@Sid8ted I would use some distilled water with calmag for the seedlings and keep your ec between .3 and .5.
You don’t want to get close to 1 until early veg because they’ll burn.

I would also get a scope and take a look @ the Underside of the leaves to make sure no Mites. If that is Soil I would raise PH to 6.5ish and like others have said, never get the leaves wet unless you are foliar feeding with lights off for a few hours, Night Cycle. Good Luck

Give it a nip of kelp fertilizer half dose in tea would be great
Are you letting them dry out between watering? What size pots are they in? What kind of soil are you using?
I’d follow what @Dave_n_St.Louis suggested, too, as well as consider changing my light schedule to 16/8.

So tell us what you did to correct the issue. Which answer gave the results we see
Hi yes when I sent the first picture’s I had just flushed the soil thru with some bottled water ph 6 the soil is bio biz light mix after id flushed the soil it took couple of days before needed watering again then I used blackstrap molasses 1 teaspoon in 1 Ltd that’s about half strength with quarter strength liquid seaweed and lots of love the most important thing

Ec is a different acronym than tds - We use TDS in America, most Europeans use EC. It measures the potency / strength of the nutrients in the feeding solution
