Should I transplant or start over?

[havoksgrow]

This is my first grow, found a few seeds in our bud so my friend and I are trying to get a few grams out of them to cover the costs of the setup. My seeds were planted on Christmas and on newyears into a soil intended for mature plants. The first sprout started to instantly burn up when it was like 1/4 inch tall so I put it in new soil for violets and planted the second seed.

Now the plants are 2-3 inches tall, 2.5-3 weeks old with about 4 nodes each.
The plants have some purple stems, the leaves are kind of dark green with some lime green spots near the points of the leaves. Some leaves are slightly folding in like a taco. just the other day the original sprout leaves started to burn up and the tips on two of my leaves are now yellow and brown.

My question
Im pretty sure its a nutrient problem due to the unknown soil so should I just buy some new plane soil and transplant them or try to fix it with nuitrents if we can pinpoint the issue?
Would transplanting into new soil be to risky since they are still young and are already stunted. Or is it about time to transplant them into bigger pots anyway.


Im growing in a 2 foot closet, planted in redsolo cups with drain holes. 2 23 watt 6400k color cfls about 2 inches from the plants. and a computer fan.
First few waterings were with tap water but now im using distilled water for the past week and a bit.

Here are some pics

The small yellow leaves in your photograph are cotyledon leaves. your Cotyledon leaves are being used as food for your plant and signify you can start adding 1/4 strength nutrients to your plant. You want pH 5.8 for hydroponic and soiless (peat moss and coco coir) and pH 6.5 for soil. What are you adjusting your pH to?


here is a nutrient availability chart

Overall you're looking good, keep going you have no reason to start over.

The water is around 6.5-6.8
Im worried about adding in 1/4 nutes since I dont know whats in my soil and in case it makes the burning on my leaves worse.
3 of the true leaves have small yellow/brown burns on the tips.

Id assume the roots are nearing the edge of the pot by now, maybe it would be best to transfer into something bigger with name brand soil like fox?

You could transplant into a mixture of 30% FoxFarm Ocean Forest, 30% FoxFarm Happy Frog, 20% perlite, 20% vermiculite and mycorrhizae mixture.

Put your middle finger and ring finger between the stem, then flip it upside down and look at your roots. If they are heavily wrapping within the container then transplant. If not leave it be for now.

These are some nutrients that my friend said she'd give me. No idea if its ideal for my plants, Still need to research into it more.

I havnt flipped her over yet but I can see some roots trying to grow out of my drain holes.
If I do transfer into new soil should I give them some time to settle before adding in liquid nutrients?

 

[KingJohnC]

The Schultz liquid plant food I do not believe it contains enough calcium for cannabis, does it list a product ingredients or composition on the back of the container? When I transplant I usually use pH adjusted water when I transplant to moisten the soil and then back to using nutrients the next feeding and on.

I would suggest to pick up a different brand of nutrients. I use General Hydroponics Flora series 3 part nutrients that can be mixed for all stages of vegetative growth and flowering. General Hydroponics Flora series can be used with hydroponic, soil and soiless mediums.
