Hey people, thanks in advance for any advice, this is my first 'grow' I
have an okay amount of exp gardening.
SETUP:
uhaul grand wardrobe box, active intake &out, ambient 78-72 when I'm home
to keep the AC on, which keeps box temps 88-82, lights on, and down to
mid to low 70's when off. RH 45-35%. 2x 26w 6500k CFL 2 inches away. Live
in major city with insanely clean tap, just kind of chlorineish, so i let
it sit out for a 24+ hrs, PH is usually 7, so i bring it down a touch.
STORY:
started seeds in hydrofarm jumpstart pellet which the dude said was made
from inert compressed paper. this is the only one that survived. I swear
I could see the yellow tips from the get-go but I ignored it:

FIRST photo is a couple days from sprout, first leaves showing lightening of
color at tips, almost yellow. overwatered, oops.

SECOND photo, 1 week later and its only gotten worse. I kept
strict on watering just the 'soil' only when it became dry and light. seems to
be growing vigorously. Tips have curled UP and burned, leaves yellowing.

THIRD Photo is 1 day after second. just for side view.
As per a friends suggestion that shes hungry I watered with only
a few spoonfuls of water with 1/4 strength (1/4 strength of recommended “rooted cutting” levels of 1/4tsp, so 1/16th tsp) of maxigrow. no improvement noticed.
A day or two later suspecting the little jumpstart paper mush isn't helping, and even though the roots had not grown through it, I pop the whole thing into a small small pot of Roots Organics Coco (the brown with with like kelp and bat guano etc, NOT the one with a dozen other org. nutes in it)

Four days later and the bottom leaves are continuing to curl and die, and
now the next of leaves up are starting to yellow at the tips as well.
Whatever this is, I think it has been here since the beginning and is only getting worse, HELP!
