sun stress. not a bad thing, could probably be moved further away from the window it's at but it's nothing serious

Get out of direct sun

I agree it is sun stress , definitely move it further away from the window or grow light

Are they new leaves? Mine will be red on the ends at the new growth until they get bigger.

Mine turn red from the sun and start to bloom. So might be a good thing?
