HELP! Yet another grow problem

I'm curious about nutrients you might be using. Is it just a compost/Coco mix? Any perlite? Is the compost your main source of fertilizer or are you adding something else? The compost might be high in nitrogen and potassium. There might also be a decent amount of salt in there. They look like the plants I tried growing in miracle-gro soil. I wish you the best of luck.
 
1)change soil (I use DNC water only, no need for nutrients or PH checking) Find it many places online.

2) get a proper light meter. I just love it when there is so much advice on PH checking and light adjustment (including distance) but with light intensity your guessing? Makes a whole lot of sense. Without a meter is like trying to determine the sex of a baby by looking at how big the woman's stomach is. You'll use it more than you know. Every inch that plant grows, ppfd increases and distance to light shortens. I check mine and adjust light every watering. You would be surprised just how much light intensity increases every 48 hours, ESPECIALLY after flip. Which leads me to my next piece of advice:

3) check temps at CANOPY level,. 78 AVERAGE tent temp could mean 85-90 at canopy level even with led. Believe me, I found out quickly that my new light was more intense than my last. Even though both are led. Tent temp can sometimes be deceiving.

Its called "cupping" or "canoeing". If you want to google it use those terms.

If you order from Amazon it comes in a box with no labeling. They ain't coming after you for 1 bag of potting soil. Can you imagine how many people would be raided for simply buying a bag of potting soil? Cops got better things to do, trust me.
