I’ve noticed some concerning coloring on my seedlings, which are about a month old now. I’m starting them out indoors and will be planting them outdoors when to weather gets more agreeable.
Should I be taking any particular action?
It’s normal for the lower leaves to develop blemishes, yellow, and eventually fall off as a plant matures. The rest of the plant is very healthy and I see nothing to worry about.

She has consumed the nutes in the small pots and is hungry. She is stealing the mobile nutes from the lower extrmeties to feed the upper new healthy growth.
You can either A) wait it out since they will be transplanted outside soon or B) you can feed her. Water her to run off and check your ppm’s. Bet they are below 750 prolly closer to 600.
AND Welcome back.
Here is some show n tell
You can see the lowest fan in the pic is yellow. This was right after the repot from the seedling cup. the 2 lowest fans had rust spots like yours. After the transplant and first real feeding, she looks much better.

Is that 2 plants in 1 pot? Or 1 plant, topped and buried deep? If it’s 2 in 1, that could be partly the issue. Root entanglement and battling for nutes. Otherwise, maybe hungry, or she could just be ready for a bigger pot

very good catch. I thought it was 2 new apicals. Did not follow the stems down to the soil. Udaman Ryan.

It’s one plant that freakishly has two stalks. I know this for a fact because I only planted one seed.
