I’m doing a test plant and I found I problem but I can’t figure out what’s causing it. The leaves are a tiny bit yellow which my guess is over watering and they have tiny shiny specs on them. Could this be to close to the light? I had them 10 inches away? It Also happened to a leaf covered by another leaf so I don’t think it is the light

if your practice plants are in your diary already, i see that they look(ed) as good as any ever grown to begin with; as soon as you'd plant them OUT, you'd be exposing them to the NEW soil environment and a NEW set of problems (or ideal conditions) that will be NOT practice-based nor perhaps even on THOSE plants (your REAL ones instead). my thought is that since REAL season plants are to be planted out in generally 10 days, once the first true leaves tell you the potential direction of growth, figuring out what is causing them to not look perfect until they ARE planted out will be beneficial to briefly-potted AG plants and their growers, (yes, all of us) but, chances are that those jumbo practice plants are merely showing that whatever nutrients were ONCE available to them are getting used-up, (right around the roots, the whole idea behind using Mycorrhizal inoculant) whereas if they were out in the PATCH, they'd be able to grow and throw out roots that would GET those nutrients that are otherwise unavailable anymore in the PRACTICE soil/SS mix. the same thing, for an analogy, will happen to a car and driver in the desert, if there are no gas stations within how many miles' worth he or she has left in their tank. eg

Okay thanks the plant got bigger and it was the third leaf I was using miracle grow potting mix. It was just something cheap to practice with.

I mean it was the fourth leaf that got “burned”

see, now, that's progress for me---if your plants look THAT good (i can't believe i did not read the TEXT below each picture) maybe I should use Miracle-Gro potting mix in my own trials coming up, lol---i don't think IIIIIII had good luck with it for seed-SPROUTING and went with Espoma with (some form of) Mycorrhizae in it, and eventually Black Gold for Seed-Starting from Country Max (Gardening Store).
i always put Bio Grow Endo Plus from Joel Holland in anything that does NOT have Myco in it to begin with. thanks for your experimentation, and very good luck! eg

I tried it for seed starting and it seemed to work nice this time 5/6 came up and the one that didn’t had a black spot already. I just have to make shore to not over water and it works

Adam the plant looks like it is getting too much water. It also look like they might be getting too big for their pot. Did you give them any ferts? I would try one more test if i was you cut back a little on the water and only add mycos and humate as fertilizers.
