what happened to my leaves?

Looks like the start of "canoeing" - cupping of the leaves.

Could be caused by excessive heat - how far from your plant is your light? What's the temperature in your grow room through lights on?

heloo ,
the light distance is about 30 inches, I happen to live at the equator and it's very hot here, my grow tent temperature reaches 90f when the lights are on

Thanks a lot bro for all the advice. I will try to make better ventilation inside the tent
You need to have some why of monitoring the temp and humidity inside the tent. I am going though my first year with a tent and big LEDs. Suffering from the same. I used a temp controller for the exhaust in the summer and that took care of things set at 84F. But with the lower humidity of fall I found it's better to run the fan all the time. This gives me just a couple degrees above room temp and humidity levels slightly above room levels as long as the pots are wet and I hang a wet towel in there. I have a humidifier on order.

I was watching my flower room today and noticed the humidity started to drop below what it usually runs. I went in and they need watering.

I've been having problems with the 2.5 gal pots holding enough water for a day. That usually was the case until recently. And now even when I water the area around the base in the ball in the root ball is dry. So I'm leaving then set in the saucer with no spacer. It worked yesterday but I didn't water s much this morning.

Today I put a small mister in there on the timer. I doubt if it will do much good but the exhaust fan is a lot smaller than the tent. 80cfm IIRC.

If you can get some dry ice in a Styrofoam cooler, might help. It's frozen Co2 . If the cooling doesn't help the Co2 for sure will. But get that air circulating. asap.
