I'm going to venture a guess that a 6-2-4 fert applied two weeks ago to a potting mix, which probably already contained nutes, was simply too much for the plant at that stage in its life. I'm not seeing any purpling in the leaves to suggest too much light. How old is this plant? Once it recovers, I would lower the T8 to within 2-3". I would also suggest learning about AACT teas, and discard the MG for very young plants(if not all plants).
I've looked at the leaves through a magnifying glass, no signs of pests.
The seed starting mix is VERY low in ferts and makes up about a quarter of my potting mixture. That's not to say that RJ doesn't have a point. I swore of the MG but decided to give it another go.
Actually upon inspection of my plant, I'm going with Edema. Some of the leaves look sugar coated on the under side, the yellowing started small and eventually took over some leaves until they dropped. My mix back when this plants was started did not have great drainage. Actually, reading an article re posted on THP about edema, it looks not only like the plant has all the symptoms and looking back at the grow, I provided all the conditions forit to happen. This is not the only plant with symptoms, just the worst.
Have another look at the photo.
Should I pluck the effected leaves?

Interesting you mention oedema. Very recently I posted some pics of 2 plants with oedema, at least, that was the common diagnosis. They looked nothing like yours though.

I thought the symptoms described in the article sounded like what my plantS are going through. Yes I have several that are now showing the same symptoms.
I'm still wondering if it is a terrible idea to snip off affected leaves.
I will pull them from the pots and inspect the roots as Moosery suggested. I'll do that Saturday. Now, forgive my ignorance but what should I look for other than obvious rotting roots?
Thanks!
