According to burton1291:
What he said! It looks like nute burn. You can get it from overfertilization or from nutrient solution splashing on the leaves. I've often noticed that a small part of the leaf on new plants will turn brown. It usually doesn't spread and may be due to fast growth or something. As long as it doesn't spread, you're OK. The remaining part of the leaf will work just fine.
As far as wind damage, no way! You'd need a gale-force wind to damage the leaves on a pot plant. A strong wind might blow a plant over, but leaves, unlike humans, don't get "wind burn."
Bottled water, mineral water, and tap water (you should let it stand in an open container like a juice jug for at least 24 hours) are all fine to use to water your gals. I'd avoid any mineral water with too high a mineral content as you don't want to cause mineral lockout problems.
Have you picked up CalMag yet? If you don't use it, you'll likely end up with a calcium deficiency. I don't think there is one yet. Seeds carry all the nutrients (including calcium) that they need for the first 2 - 3 weeks of life. After that is where you take over.
Since you've already fertilized this plant, I would definitely use just water (with CalMag!) for the next few days and see how things go. It's a good idea to use a 1/4 - 1/2 strength solution of nutrients the first time you fertilize a seedling to see how it reacts before moving up to full-strength.
i think it might be nute burn, ive used no nutes on my plants so far and mine are about 9 days in soil and theyre probably 3x the size of yours (no offense). in my opinion just lay off the nutes for a week or 2 and water with spring/purified water only. and it should shoot up.
