hello,

i think they are burning from too many nutes, although the newer growth is looking better;

i would give them just plain water and then hopefully wait until they grow out of it, which i think they should do

Are your sure your light fixture isn't too close? Are you using t5s or 4s?

light stress results in "bleaching" of the leaves (white patches) or the heat from being too close will generally make the leaf margins curl upwards.

also it would generally effect the tops / hot spots above canopy.

the tips curled downwards / margins rolling down, burning and shiny dark green appearance of yours are all indications of over-fertilization.

also he randomly chose a suggested light fixture for you, to go with the random speculation of problem.

imho
