Seedlings discoloration

ive never heard of anyone growing a seedling under a 1000w light
that plant doesnt look bad to me...but im no expert

I agree it's a lot of light. It would certainly be too much for a clone, but I figured seeds grow their foliage along with their roots, so there isn't an initial shock so long as they pop out of the medium directly into it (like the sun). Perhaps I'm being too aggressive.

I also agree it doesn't look too bad, but I've become accustomed to looking for the minor signs of any potential issues before they progress to cause real problems. Whatever the discoloration is, even in the best case it means I could be preparing these plants for flowering faster.

Ive actually rooted clones under 1000w hps lol so I dont think light is the problem but, it does look like there is one

An update: I believe I solved it. I raised the light 6 inches, pulled the light cycle down to 12 hours, and added a 24 hour CFL to keep it in a veg state. This effectively increased the time that ventilation doesn't have to run, keeping humidity higher and VPD down. I also decreased EC to 0.9. New growth looks healthier and the plants are drinking more quickly.

Once again, a reminder to be gentle to seedlings.
