So both plants are like 3 weeks old and I noticed the tips are starting to brown. Before i transplanted in the pot they are in now I seen the tips brown then I gave them nutrients (hydroponic nutrients) before transplanted them then the growth came in good. But now the tips are starting to brown again. I'm not sure if it's the nutrients or it's the soil but i have then in some fox farm happy frog soil. so should I get soil nutrients in stead of the general hydroponic flora series nutrients ( which I only fed it to them once) or does it matter?

Please let me know riu, thanks.

Those don't look to bad so its not a big deal. Keep looking at the new growth to judge what is going on. It could have been what you fed them or how much you fed them. They are still pretty young. Take it easy on the nutes if you have to use them all ready. A good npk for veg is a 3-1-2 so take a look at what you are using and compare it to this. How much are you feeding them 1/4 tea 1/2 tea per gallon ? Start off small. Take it easy on them. More is less. You will be fine. Hope it helps. Good luck.

That's the beginning of Nute burn buddy. Too young IMO to be feeding nutes. The happy frog is enough for the little ones at this point.

Yeah to much IMO. Start at 1/4 tea per gallon and go from there. But I still would hold off for now. Let that root structure build up. And IMO that has to much p for veg. Good luck.

If they are just now 3 weeks, and they're still that small, my first guess would be you fed too soon.
It night get a little worse until the roots grow out some, but being that you just (for me too early) put them into larger containers,you will probably notice that the foliage growth is going to really slow, if not stop for a week or more as it grows more roots.
