I’ma FNG just trying to figure this out. Couple weeks into grow, off the dome and 2 feedings with nutes. (Gen hydro trio). My leaf tips are turning yellow and some leaves are dry and crunchy. Some holes forming in crunchy areas. Some leaf tips “clawing”. I moved my lights back but it looks like all my plants are affected. I’m in 5 gal felt pots.

A couple questions, what are you growing in (media)? How often and how are you watering?
To me, with your description and what I see it looks looks like a water/nute issue. The leaves are drooping (not clawing), and a bit puffy, which normally means too much or improper watering or a root issue. The crispy parts of the leaves, are they green? If so then I’d back down on the nutes. Many potting soils are “pre-loaded” so they may have gotten a bit too much. Hopefully, we’ll get some more input.

I’m growing in HP Pro mix. My crispy patches are turning bronzish yellow. I water every four days or more. It’s only had two post seedling feedings with nutes. I have a 400 watt led panel in a 3x3 tent. My light is now at 2’ with 80% at about 650ish ppfd

The pots look a little dry to my eyes. When you are watering how much do you typically give them? Everything else you've said sounds pretty much perfect.

When you water, water the majority around the outside of the pot, not in the middle. You want the roots to "search" for water and expand. If you water in the middle only you'll have an overly wet spot in the middle (potential root rot, small root ball) and it'll be dry around the outside. Other than that, things sound pretty good.
