That's not foil, I'm using mylar. My timer waters the plants for 15minutes every 4 hours.

that may be too mush idk what your using? have you checked the ph of the water mine did somethin like this in the beginning of my grow and it turned out to be ph was too high

Yeah, I checked the PH about 10 minutes ago and it was around 6.5. So I brought it down to 5.8, and I'll be checking it more regularly.
As for lighting, I've got an 85watt dualspectrum (4200 lum) light + 23watt (800lum?), and two warm spectrum lights on the side for some extra lumens. I'd estimate about 6000-6500 lumens total reach my plants.
As for nutrients, I'm using the bubbleponic micro/grow packets on full strength, however I diluted it with 1gal water yesterday. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be using those nutes so early but I figured it was the right time.

May be too late man. Plain tap water lowerd to 5.8 ph and get something to help the roots regrow.

I recommend using superthrive to help your seeldings/ clones get a jump start. Try using the correct ph tap water first. And if that doesn't seem to help in a few days, look into getting some superthrive. Another great alternative to superthrive would be Rhizotonic. If you haven't seen this stuff before, definitely look it up. It's worth the research.
I had the same problem, but it did not surface until the next couple sets of leaves, and only on one strain ( I started 2 seeds, 1 Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze, and 1 Barney's LSD - the LSD was the sensitive one). I assumed it was a nute deficiency or overdose. I managed it to the point where only the very tips were yellow and now my plants are 6-8" with just the very tips yellow/burned, then I got a proper ec/pH meter and realized the pH of the water in my house was 7.21 with an ec of .22. I'm just beginning, so I didn't know how crucial testing things like this were. I just switched to distilled water until I can afford a purification system, and hopefully that will fix it, but the high pH and ec was a surprise for sure.
