Also, you say the cups have not come close to drying out yet. If youre doing soil get used to the motto "If it aint dry don't apply"..
You definitely got a little bit of nutrient burn. A bit of the odd texture/ridges of the leaves is from too much water.. Let em dry, give them fresh ph adjusted water til theyre a little bigger, than bring in the nutes. 6.1-6.3 ph for Soil.
Good luck!

Hes not in soil . Theres nothing in there to start with .I just switched to ProMix and I have to feed them from the rip.
Also I think you should ph your water at 6.0 But 5.9 is good to imo

But he could be giving the too much. I'm having a hard time figuring out if that mix has any nutes at all. Seems like it's just a peat and perlite mix.

I will have to do some research on the soil content of that pro mix. I let the cups dry out, they should be dry today so I'm giving them ph water of 6.0 with 10ml per gallon of Grozyme. I will do a flush test to see where the ppm's are at. I've had advice that 200-400ppms on feeding days should be ok.

There is no nuts in the mix .  I think your right it being peat and perlite.

Here's whats in the Sunshine #4 mix aggregate plus soil: 65-75%Canadian Spagnum peatmoss, horticulture grade perlite and dolomitic lime stone. I did a flush test and got 1900ppm and 6.4ph.
