I suspect this would not be a pH issue at this very early time in the grow. Your pH sounds spot on, as I understand it.
It's probably water related, as in too much. Remember, you're only watering 2 little leaves and a toothpic stem . . . and you need the roots seeking water for the best results.

let the soil dry out before you water them. its a weed...... I never pay attention to mine and they do fine. what kind of lighting are you using?

Over-watering causes all kinds of spots to show, usually starting on the tips, which can indicate other things, but this early on, should only be moisture related?

Sorry mib, you know what mary does to you.

Are you feeding em already? Looks like you cooked em. Overwatering would have made the little guys look different.

id go with what the lads said dont water untill they have dried out abit then give them a little pick me up like superthrive or super vit also give them a very week dosage of a rooting complex. i use rhizotonic for the 1st 10 days.

I know whats wrong man you need a new light setup, stay away from cfl's, go get yourself a 250w metal halide bulb and hang it about 10-13 inches from them baby's
in your pictures the little guys look like they have plenty of water but no help absorbing it.
The new light will be well worth it. This is what mine look like after 13 days with a 250w metal halide

i just got two extra 105W each CFL's will that fix the problem?? that would be 350W total daylight! BTW its getting worse and the yellowing spots is spreading! i really need some help here......
