When you said "microgro" soil did you mean miracle grow? Or is it a soil I've just never heard of?
Because if it's miracle grow, that's probably your problem.

There's a few growers that use it at least somewhat successfully but most struggle. The nutrients are released when the soil is watered. Most new growers over water their plants. The result is often nute burnt plants.
Changing soils should help but remember the damaged leaves won't heal, your just hoping the new growth does better.
As for what to use, there's lots of options. Fox Farms happy frog and ocean forest are both good. A lot of people like ProMix but that doesn't have as much nutrients in it so you have to feed it immediately. Roots Organics is good. Coast of Maine potting blends. Basically any good organic potting mix that doesn't contain time release fertilizers will work.

Personally I wouldn't use it at all. I think it's garbage. The fertilizers are harsh chemicals. That shit ends up in your weed. Plus it's a pain in the ass to keep your plants healthy in. As soon as you can if transplant her into something better.

Yeah, depending on where you are a lot of this shit gets pricey.
That Mother Earth groundswell soil looks great. Honestly if you use that your probably won't need to add any fertilizer for 4 - 6 weeks. Id skip the happy frog fertilizer though, I don't think it's great for cannabis

If that hurts your heart, you're in for a ride man lol not to discourage you
I wouldn't water especially if you're going to get that soil soon. water a little before transplanting to keep the root ball intact and water more with new soil. Ingredients seem no so great though, it just says fertilizer... instead of individual elements

Don't give up yet man. These are pretty hardy plants. I would prefer plastic solo cups vs styrofoam, but make sure you have drainage holes in whatever you use.

It's not NEW damage though, just a continuation of the original damage.
Not only is it the necrosis, but the leaf serrations are deformed.
What KIND of miracle grow is it? I dont believe the newish organic miracle grow that comes in a black bag should be too terrible. If that's the case, it may just be an issue of the soil being too hot for a young plant.
Also, what is the pH of the water you are using? That could be part of your issue as well.
And as far as soil (when repotting), you dont NEED foxfarm ocean forest or anything else super fancy. I'm not sure what you have available locally, but if you cant find an organic potting mix (preferred), you can usually find topsoil, organic compost, and perlite at your local hardware store. Mix 25% topsoil, 25% perlite, 50% compost... add in a handful or 2 of earthworm castings into the mix, and that should get ya started out well.
As long as you have quality nutrients to use as additives, not having the highest quality soil is more than manageable. I use biobizz products, but getting ready to try megacrop which I'm seeing great things about. Dynagro and General Hydroponics I've also heard good things about (if you need nutrient brand suggestions)
Yes lately the temp been around 78-84f
