this is my last blue mystic fem seed, i planted it about a week and a half ago. i have it in my grow box under a 150 watt hps. the light is about 10 inches from the plant but i have very good air circulation so the temp at the top leaf stays at around 81-84 degrees. ever since day 4 the leaves started to curl upwards as if there is a heat problem but even under a 23watt house light i still curled during the first few days, now even the new leaves are curling im not sure what to do. the pot i have has drain holes in it and my soil drains the water pretty well so i dont think its a water problem. when i water her i level the ph in the water to 6.5 but i dont check the soil ph. i have not given her any nutes yet so its not that unless if the miracle grow soil's nutes are doing this which i doubt. long story short do you know what is wrong with my plant i explained all the factors so you know what is and isn't, if you have any input please share i really want this plant to work out... thank you. also i want to add that the light has been on 24 hours a day for the last 4 days tomarrow i will start going 18/6. maybe its to much light?? here are a few pics

maybe lack of water... best way to rule that out is to flush her hard, lift the pot to test for weight when wet, then let dry out till droopy, i suspect this will fix ur problem]
EDIT: was typing when you were stickythumb, but good fuckin point, whats the humidity..

i understand leaves culing up is the plant trying to evaperate some moisture and not being able to so could be lack of water get a soil meter at home depot or harbor freight less than 15 measure light, ph, moisture good stuff.

Here's your problem, you need drainage and magnesium. So punch some holes at the bottom of your container and find a way to balance your nutrients. It will start looking better with the new leaves.

im not giving them any nutrients yet, but what does magnesium do?

when edges of leaves curl up like that its a sign of heat stress
the temperature in the box is at 81-85 degrees with cool air blowing at my plant. i read that 90 degrees plus is when heat will damage the plant, so i dont think its the heat.
