Heat stress?

I've had this issue for the last day or 2. This plant is 5 days old today. It popped the soil on Monday. It is significantly larger than my other 4 plants that popped the same day. It has been growing literally like a weed with no issues. Till I noticed the edges curling up. My temp is around 75. And none of my other plants are showing signs like this. What's wrong? It otherwise looks healthy.

give them some time curling can be heat stress but at that small unless your light is on top of them that shouldn't be a problem, but if that light is to close move it a bit further away from your ladies.

hope all works out

what type light/watts and how may inches from the plant?

how tall is the plant or how many sets of leaves?

curling how?
tips curl up?
or
margins curl up making the leaf shaped like a canoe or taco shell?
 
I was thinking the same thing. And my temp rarely reaches over 80°
The plant showing these signs is an Auto AK. I bought my seeds from True North.
I'm using a 450w LED with both veg AND bloom switches on. It's hovering about 18" above the tops of the plants. I also recently added 6 - 60w 'Daylight' CFLs.
Today the girls are 6 days old. I knocked a leaf off of one of the girls a few days ago now and she isn't showing any signs of slowing down.
I have:
4 - Kings Kush Auto
1 - Auto AK
The 4 Kings Kush are just barely pushing their 3rd set of leaves.
The Auto AK pushed it's 3rd set of leaves about 2 days ago and all 3 sets are quite large compared to any of the KK leaves. But the thing is, none of the sets of the AAK leaves look anything simular to any pot leaf I've ever seen. And the 3rd and smallest set of leaves look like the are growing from below the second set of leaves. Currently I don't see anything starting to poke out of the center of the leaves at the top.
All 4 of the KKs are about 3 inches tall.
The AAK is 5inches already. But I can't say I have seen improvement since this leaf curling ordeal. I literally just got done transplanting it from Pro-Mix Organic Mix, to Fox Farm Ocean Forest. Hopefully this makes a difference. I've recently heard that pro mix organic mix is weak and/or lacking nutes due to the high peat content.
Last thing...
I've been looking everywhere and can't find any definitive answer about whether or not the more light the better during veg.
I know during flower, the more light/watts the better. But is that also the case during veg?

Just posted bud. Wish I could upload a picture. I have 2 CFLs in each of the front corners just to add some light. And I have 2 CFLs without the hood thing hovering around 6-8 inches from the top of the plants. This is my 3rd grow. But only my first grow larger than a single plant in a cabinet.
 
that's a lot of light for those small girls
Thats what I was wondering. Is there such thing as too much light during veg? I'm finding it much easier to control the humidity and temp with the 450w LED and
6 - 60w CFLs. But do you think that's too much light? I've noticed for the last 2 days since I put the CFLs in, the plants are no longer leaning toward just the one LED light. I have 5 plants in a 3'x3'x3' tent for veg. But without the CFLs in there with the LED, the plants lean all over and I feel like I can see dark spots. But it might be my imagination. I'm kind of proud of this grow so far, all of my plants are just 6 days old but have nice thick stems. Even my 6 inch desk fan on high that I use to bounce the babies around a bit to give them strength can't even make em budge!! I wish I could upload some pictures soon bad!!

ive never grown under LED

so im not 100%

but if what ive read it true 450 watts of LED is like 700 watts of hps
now some of that might be hype im not sure

just for comparison 450 watts of hps 18" over a 3" tall plant sounds a bit much

if it was a well established clone I say push it hard

but a sprout from seed id go easier

maybe raise it up to 24"

but again...ive never grown under LED and we don't have pics
so im kinda assuming

Well I have 450w of LED and 360w of 6500k CFLs. I don't want to stunt them with too much light. If that's even a thing. But I want to make sure they're getting all the light they want and more. Are we able to pm pics?
