Strain: not sure as as its bag seed.
Environment:Indoor
Medium: soil
Lights 4 85w 6500k's and 8 23w 5000k cfl. 18/6 schedule. Lights are about 1.5" off of top.
Age: the one in the picture is 17 days.
Watering schedule: I was watering a little every day and a few days ago I changed it to every two days /monitoring soil moisture.
Nutriants: rhazatonic sprayed on folage and medium surface/ as directed.
Temp/hum. 77-85./ 31%

FIRST AND FOREMOST this is my very first grow.
I have 10 girls from seeds, the grow is only 17 days in. They are planted stagered through out 7 days, don't ask me why. They were doing great untill today I noticed a few of them had cupped leaves, including the two biggest. Like I said everything was going ok, and I decided to change watering schedule based on information derived from this site. I went from everyday (which I learned was to much) to every other bay. That was four days ago, so today I assumed they were going through moisture stress from lack of water. I watered them immediately, but I'm afraid I might have been wrong! p.s i checked the ph of run off today and it was 6.5ish

thanks for the quick reply, i have given them very little food just 1/4 tspn per gallon of GH flora NPK over two waterings. heat is not that bad it never gets above 85* maybe radiant heat... and do you think the hood could be causing issues...thx for any help

yeah even if the plant isnt getting direct heat the heat in the air will hurt it.. u need good ventilation to curculate the air 70 to 80 degrees is the best
