Hey everyone, my auto Purple cheese seedling (1 week old)decided to start browning and curling in the tips. The leaves are DARK green, and is settled in a rockwool cube, which is in a hydro, drip bucket system. The aquafarm is huge, but I decided to just try one seed so I wouldn't waste the other ones. How permanent are the damages? Should I start another? What exactly do the brown tips a mean? Any support would help Thanks

pH should be 5.8

and sounds like it is a little over-fertilized

I was thinking over-watered since the original post didn't mention anything about nutes or ppm.

Also, since the seedling is only 1 week old, and barely an inch tall..it could simply grow out of this phase and do very well in it's vegetative phase.

How permanent are the damages? Should I start another? What exactly do the brown tips a mean?

Very permanent, but not deadly.
Brown tips can mean a lot of things...I would suggest watering less frequently, and waiting it out.

just my opinion.
