First ever grow and need advice relatively quickly if possible

Hello friends! First off, I've only made it this far all thanks to these threads and the wonderful people this place holds. So thank you all in advance. I have 2 white widows in 3 gallon pots of Ocean forest/Perlite mix. Today marks 2 weeks since planting and they've had nothing but water and recharge with just a little bit of cal/mag last week. They drink once every 3 days or so and they're under a Vipar 450 that runs 20/4 at what was 20-21'" away until I saw these current issues in which I've instantly started to panic and backed the light off to 22". The fingers have slight yellowing and some little brown spots, the veins seem green while in between it's lighter, and the leaves seem to canoe. I've looked everywhere for what this issue is and cannot for the life of me determine the problem and I dont trust myself in properly diagnosing it. I've seen light burn, some bug problem, a zinc deficiency or what have you. Is it a root issue? If the pictures aren't good enough I'll take some more. Any input is much appreciated, until then I'll continue obsessing and researching my ass off. Thanks and I love you all

Your plants look fine right now. You should stop obsessing over them. In soil, you can't do things to help them every time you're with them. Raising the light an inch does little to help. Give it a week and then get back to us. Good luck!
 
@Eugenios hey brother. Water is tapped at (6.3-6.7) no more, no less. I let it set out over night to dissipate off. Did some digging last night and chalked it up to be a tiny nute burn from it only being 2 weeks old and in ocean forest. Everything is all good, I just saw some discoloration and wanted to get ahead of whatever the issue was since this is entirely new to me. The plant in the pics is about 1-1 1/2” taller than the other(and that little lady looks great) so that’s why I initially thought it was some type of heat stress.
 
Fold the sides of your pot down, and next time fill to the top. It makes for bad climate and no air flow down in a pot
 
@GeneBanker That makes sense. I do however have a small fan on ground level and an oscillating one above the two plants so I dont think the airflow will be restricted enough to make a difference. The reason for this specific pot not being full is because I plan to top dress this one with the same amendment it was planted in and I really didnt have a solid point of reference on the amount of soil to water in with besides "a couple scoops" so I left some some wiggle room until I'm more confident. The other pot is damn near full as that one i'll be top feeding differently side by side to experiment and learn as much as I can. Aiming for a 'less is more' until I get more experience. Sorry for the rant and thanks for the advice
