I would flush. And make sure your not over watering. New brown growth is not good.

is that organic soil a good one, says it ph balaced to 5.8 - 6.9 ,will it cause nut burn, or is there anything i should add

Lights maybe? Only time I get brown is when the lights are burning.

Perhaps you've added to much calcium which can cause a lock up of other essential minerals like magnesium.

any questions/answers

It's impossible to give you any advice without more information and pictures. Basically - it could be anything from nutrient deficiency, to watering problems, to innapropriate soil medium.

If you've over-fertilised that could cause the burning, if it's deficient that could cause the yellowing, if your lights are too close, that could cause burning - the yellowing could be watering problems - it could be anything.

Can you not put up any pictures? Or give a more detailed account of what you're doing?

sorry cameras broken, so no pics. But i think i figured out the problem. i fertilized to early and it burned it, then i got scared and flushed it with tap water(dont know the Ph), only to worsen the overwatering. Plus the soil mix i used retains alot of moisture and i didnt add extra perlite, so i wouldnt be suprised if they are gonna die
