On the first pic you can see your new growth tips are yellow, how many PPM's are you feeding?
Chemistry,
Do you use that slight leaf tip yellowing as a guide to when you hit the max dosage (ppm)? In my grow I kinda watch for that and then back off just a little. I had a hard time seeing much of it in picture 1 but I am still trying to figure out the finer points. I have some plants in soil and some in Hydro and the hydro is easier because I can monitor their actual daily usage but in soil I find it a little harder to detect the max ppm without just judging by the leaf tips.

Forgot to say, I never hit the max dosage, I try to give only what the plant needs, but the yellow tips would make me think about changes I had made in the last week, if you dosed up your PPM's, then that would most likey be your first port of call for looking at, so you would back down and look for a colour change in your tips, most defs will show up with in around 3 days, but spotting them at this early stage under the sort of lights we use is a challenge even for seasoned growers, better to err on the side of caution and avoid defs, keep a log at home, and refer to it if you have the same problem on your next run, that way you can adapt your feed ratio's to suit your plants on your next run.
Chem,
I am not the OP I was just curious about your opinion because I only grow in soil once a year and I find it harder to manage than hydro but that's just me. I have a bunch of girls in soil right now for the outdoor season here and I often struggle with issues like the OP is describing and it is easy to get paranoid about every little change. I keep a detailed diary ever day and add any changes I make to my notes. This also helps during the next cycle to compare what is happening.
Someday I would like to go to coco or organic soil but I just think that method of growing is very hard for me to understand.
Thanks for the feedback,

Thanks everyone for your feedback. This is my first grow so I’m a little nervous about every little thing. Honestly, I understand ph, temps, humidity etc.. but for some reason I just can’t grasp ppm.
I moved my lights a few more inches away this morning (I was away for 4 days and they grew a bit-my Mom watered them but I wouldn’t let her do anything else).
I do keep a daily detailed log of temp, humidity, light distance, when I lst and exact amount of water and Nutes I use. I have been doing the feed feed water feed feed. Should I back off on the feed a bit?
