| the medium looks really dry. you need to get a handle on your ph. that soil has added nutes? seedlings don't need any feed for the first couple weeks, so you may be seeing problems because of this. they kind of look hungry too... | ||

| Try giving them a nute with more nitrate. Yellowing lower leaves is a common nitrogen deficiency. It looks like your giving them a bloom nutrient with more phosphorus then nitrogen. Maybe they are hungry and in the veg stage they really enjoy nitrogen and it helps with plant stress.  Try some superthrive that stuff kicks ass with stressed plants. Also like you said keep that PH under control. Always 7.0 w/ or w/out nutes. good luck buddy! | ||

| No need to cut off leaves. Doing that will just make whatever problem you have spread to the next ones. Its like a domino effect and its pointless. Dont worry about cutting off the bad leaves, worry about preventing them from going bad. | ||

| I see purple stems ( P deff), and the burned part is P working its magic I see what looks like Mag deff with the intervein yellowing. use epsom salts at 1 tsp per gallon til that dissapears, then step it down like 1/2 the 1/4 then 1/8
