Leaves Turning White?

This is my second seedling I started growing and about a day ago I noticed this unusual whitening happening to the first serrated leaves. Just wanted to know what Ya guys think and if Ya have any pointers on to what this is!

U have 2 leaves lol did u feed it nutrients?
Is ur soil got nutrients in it
 
Using organic potting soil with mixed in perlite and peat moss so I assume there's nutrients in there. Have been feeding regular tap water but letting it sit overnight. Have yet to get a ph tester i am this weekend though. Could it be early nute burn ?

Or,more likely, does your soil have "time released plant food" in it? Organic does not mean there aren't nutrients in it.Check the bag.
 
Okay thanks for the advice guys! I will be picking up a bag of pro mix today and transplanting. Should I transplant my other plant that is doing good so far in the pro mix too ?
 
If I can't get my hands on the pro mix asap because in my area they do not sell it and I'm not close to any hydroponic stores. The only thing I can get my hands on fast is fox farms ocean forest would that be good ?
 
So FFOF is a good candidate? I heard some people having a lil bit of nute burn with it. As far as spraying the plant the most i have done was mist it with some regular tap water when needed.

If you have burn from nutrients already presuming that's the issue, then FFOF might smoke that seedling the rest of the way. FF has been having some consistency problems with their products. Also (any) liquid misted on leaves with lights on and close to the plant will do that. No more misting and place her in a nice mellow relaxing soil . Lay off the N a little until she gets comfortable and back on track. My opinion only
 
Thanks for the advice as always! What soil would you recommend me getting? My area is kind of limited /Lowes/HomeDepot/Walmart it would be nice to get something that works from there instead of ordering online constantly and having to wait and hopefully not be too late lol

Yes I see what you mean about variety. Doesn't sound like you have many options. It's been a very long time since I've purchased soil at those places and truthfully I've forgotten what they have. It would have to have NO time released anything in it, it would have to drain well and be airy enough for roots to be happy. You could take some of an amended soil and bland it way down with some plain ass house plant potting soil until she behaves
 
What's amended soil? Never heard of it. And stay away from anything MG right ? And if she didn't need transplanting asap I would order online and wait the few days but I know I just want to be safer then sorry.

Amended... Basically base nutrients the company adds. Anything the plant uses for food. Enriched , put in another way
