transition , or problem ?

[plantnoob]

came home from work today , and noticed some of the tips of my L. aquatica seem to be suffering ,im thinking maybe transition , as it was only planted 2 days ago . 125L tank 2x24w t5 , eheim 2213 , 1400lph and 400 lph powerheads , ei dosing , drop checkers both nice and lime green ( 4dkh bromo blue ) up inline atomiser . lighting period 6 hours . spraybar and powerheads all on rear wall of tank , flowing towards front wall . ada amazonia substrate ( should be cycled ny now its been in there 5 or 6 weeks before plabting) , no livestock . anything to be worried about ?

Looks like it might be just the transition,as you say it's only been planted two days

The areas you're pointing to don't look like the most recent growth. The growth at the top looks lovely and healthy, so I think you're onto a winner.

figured it might be the case , thanks for confirming it though . ive got a little bit of maintainence to do tonight , should i just trim it off ?

I'd trim an inch below the healthy new growth and replant it, stripping the lowest leaves to where the substrate will go up to.
