Guys help me what is wrong with this baby?

I thought it was a nutrient burn so i cut the nutes in half with water but the it kept spreading, its grown in dwc but in the kratky method i think so it doesnt have the air stone, and i use flora trio, very little of it since its like the second week.

MarieM welcome ,first off its a seedling until it hits the veg tent it will only need a little nutes ,you'll know it will start growing real fast,at this point you can increase nutes until you get that little tip burn like you have ,when you notice the burn you are at max dosage of nutrients, more importantly is do you have a ph meter and a ppm/tds meter , if you dont have one get one ,if you get it from a local shop they can show you how to use it and calibrate it , I suggest you read some of the excellent tutorials here good luck

Howdy MarieM, First of all, I am not familiar withe the 'Kratky method', but I do grow in a DWC system. Like oldjarhead100 said it is a seedling and they do need less nutrients and You should monitor the pH levels (I use pH test strips, myself). Also the water temperature should be between 62° F and 73° F , well aerated, and keep out all light from the reservoir. I use the GH MaxiGrow and MaxiBloom nutrients (at the recommended levels foe the plant's growth stage) and do get a small amount of leaf tip 'burn', but not much. Your plant looks healthy overall and You should not worry unless it spreads over more of the leaf.
