New Plants; Browning of outer edges of leaves etc. Info

Well I guess I'm slowly building up my experience at experimenting. I've noticed a lot of people are having defects when it comes to Browning of the outer edges of the leaves of new growth shortly after sprout. I took ten seeds total. All seeds are exact strain. All soil and environment conditions are the same. No nutrition have been added except for the small amounts in the soil. I've noticed 1/10 seeds I grow normally have this problem and they grow out of it but growth is stunted for a lil while. I'd say that main cause has something to do with within the seed itself. Something like a deformity. My other 9 plants are doing well. Three of them have been topped,2 are growing freely until 4th veggie week, and the last 4 are being tied down to the sides of the cup until 4th week. I will be adding 11/4/6 nutrition to my Browning plant at full strength. 1tsp per 16oz water. Also I will put under 1 26watt/1750 lumen warm aprox 3000k. I will monitor for the next 48hrs. If problems continue, i will give the plant 16oz water mixed with 100mg of asprin as asprin helps with stress on its next watering(72hrs).Any comments advise or ideas are greatly appreciated. I'm just looking to fix a common problem with some new answers.

Does it have a headache?
Your problem is either soil too hot or overwatering.

Mostly this is from burn. You don't need to feed your plants until they get quite a bit larger. Many potting soils like miracle grow already have a heavy dose of time released fertilizer in the soil .

Yes very true I normal don't add anything until two weeks after a transplant when the plant actually has some body to it. Now when I'm experimenting. Much differ story. I appreciate your response though and thanks.

17hrs after I started this post and new growth has began in two areas of the plant. She's looking healthier even though her other leaves are slightly burnt. I'm beginning to believe that when this baby was a seedling it may of had more natural nutrition inside stored then its siblings did. The other plants are looking great. No defects at all. I shall be back later with an update.
