So I have 8 Seeds of Gran Daddy going, Fox Farm/promix soil, under 400hps, been veg'n for 5 weeks now, Light is far away, with 2 fans blowing inside tent, The leaves are curling up, I water'd Ph'd 5.8 with AN nutes last night
 
are any of the fans blowing directly onto it?

leaves curling down is generally an indication it's hot.
leaves curling upwards is mostly caused by wind burn, or a breeze to strong stressing em out

it could be a number of things. if the leaves are "perky" still and curling up then i would take a wild guess at too much food. if the leaves are droopy plus curling , i would guess over watering (not enough aeration).

you got good soil and good light and good ventilation, so the plant should be pretty good size at 5 weeks. ?
how often do you water her ?
how much food do you feed her ? or was that the first feeding ?
what kind of food ?


next time add a lil perlite to your medium for better aeration. its a lot better to waste food and water and to have plenty of aeration then it is too use less food an water and your roots cant breathe. that will rule out a LOT of the fuckups begginers make.

i agree... mine are doing the same thing. im using mg soil though. i think its from not adding perlite in the soil. i got 2 little ones going and have bought perlite when i transplant, im gonna do 50/50 soil and perlite.
 
"windburn" just wont happen indoors. the plant will just adapt and grow stronger. i guess its possible with a high power exhaust fan, but probably not.

i am way too lazy too be tiein nugs up , so if they get a lil stretchy then i use wind to strengthen them up so they can hold theirselves up.

Yeah Im using Promix & Happy Frog mix, This will be my first and last soil grow, I just wanted to get the hang of things. I built a homemade 12 Site aero system, I need to start cloning these in a few days, any tips on doing this? I bought a small thing of root tech

very good idea fir3. you really cant go wrong with moisture when using 50/50 perlite (or any other inert medium that helps with aeration/drainage. pea gravel, vermiculite, sand, ect....)

worst case scenario , you will have to water a lot , maybe even everyday. that is a whole lot better then the affects of too much moisture/ not enough air to the roots.
