I looked up your super soil. Nice stuff. I will be going back to there web site and doing a little more reading about this product.
What are you using for a light? I'm thinking that the light may be a little on the close side. How far away from the top of the plant is the light.

How about water what are you using for water. City tap water? Well water? Rain water, R/O water?

If you look closely at your plant, you will see that the edges of the leaves are rolling up a bit. Your plant is still quite young and will burn easy. The rolled leaf edges tell me that your light is to close. The leaf surface texture and brown blotch on one leaf, and the overall color of the plant. I'm thinking same issue. Modern LED lights are super powerful. And one must be careful with them.
I'd suggest that you move the light up 28" to 30" above the plant and leave it at 70%.
The plant will settle down and grow up to the light.

See the leaf tips rolled down and brown on a couple of the older leaves. This is hot soil. A little high in nitrogen.
Don't feed her nitrogen for a couple more weeks. Just water.

I asked about water. City water has chlorine and other things designed to kill the microbes in your living soil. You must off gas it before you water this kind of grow with it. With a little luck your bottled water is just clean untreated spring water and won't be a issue.

Did you purchase any other amendments with the base soil?
Depending on what you have added or have not added.
Scratch 1/2 a cup of bone meal into the top 2" of soil asap. Spread it like a top dressing then use a fork to mix it in well.
This won't do much over the next 90 days but when your flowering 90 days from now the bone meal will be breaking down nicely buy the microbes in your soil and producing large amounts of Calcium, Phosphorus and magnesium. Just when the plant requires them.

I haven't added anything to the soil
And I can't raise the light right now so I've lowered the intensity down to 30%

Looks good so far - Looked at your soil, and Product Line (you are not stateside?) all look/sound like pretty good stuff. Follow directions on the bags/bottles. Autos dont usually like full dose formulas, bag dosages are usually aimed at photo-period plants, I start at 1/2 dose formulas, and mild increase till I see some tip burn, then ill stop at that dosage. You shouldn't need to fertilize till later in Veg, if they start to lose Vigor. Use the Charge as directed. 1st grow is training....do your research.

keep at it

I love watching them grow when they're young. You're off to a good start. Welcome to the farm!

That's really not bad. I've had a few plants do that with the first leaves and they turned out just fine.

I'm growing a big bud seed that is 30 yrs old and it had a mutation with first leaves and grew out of it.

From the first 2 weeks. Then right now starting week 6 flower.
