Possible for pH down to cause tip burn ? I've not fed nutes yet. But I have been pH downing the distilled water. My gut is telling me not to feed any nutes yet.

Don't use pH down on seedlings. Just water with straight RO or distilled water. pH down, particularly Phosphoric Acid, can cause burn like that (one of the by products is Phosphorus or P).
Seedlings don't require nutes or pH down until the first set of true leaves minimum.

Your worrying to much.

Little plants need little attention
don't over water, and you'll be.

Stop pH downing your distilled water.


Good Luck on Your Grow
