    Default Leaf curling issues first grow!

    Hey all,
    This is my first grow. Right now I have a two week old dwarf low flyer autofem, two more two day old seedlings and two white widows that have not broken soil yet. So my concern is with the two week old plant. I made the mistake of using miraclegrow soil with 6 month feed and on top of that I became over zealous and used a 3-1-2 miraclegrow nutrient as well as a light dose of AN bud candy. I have the plant a solid soaking until there was plenty of run off. Simply put, I messed up quite a few things without realizing till after the fact. I noticed that one of my fan leaves are curling up and one is sagging...overall the plant looks really healthy but with as much as I messed up, I really need opinions in pin pointing the issue.
    More background I'm in a 4x4x6.5ft tent with a 300w mars led and an unbranded 1000w led both running at 24" above the plant. Quick research makes me think too much light/too close. So I went ahead and cut the 1000w light and raised the 300w to 30in.
    Temps have been 78-80 degrees and 50% humidity. Does anyone have any advice to my complete noob mistakes?? Anything is appreciated!

    If anything I'd get the light closer.

    Looks fine to me too.. just don't add more feed.
    Sounds about right having the Mars at 30". I think they recommend 40" for seedlings.

    Looking good bud, just take it easy on the water during veg, any issues you notice will take time to rectify, I run Mars LEDs ax Bulls says 2-3 foot away will be better on ya seedlings, had some Mad bleaching, curling, from my lights to close.

    Thanks for the re-assurance guys! So is it safe to say leave just the mars 300w at 30in on? No need for the 1000w also?

    You don't need a thousand watts yet for that little baby. It looks fine to me, by the way.

    I started with a 300w mars and always kept at 18" from sprouting with no issues whatsoever. Same with my 600w mars too. As long as your temps are good then I'd lower them to 18" personally as 300w is low enough as it is (145w true power). Then when you add the 1000w just add it at say 30" and lower it each day.

    I'm using my 300w plus a 2nd 600w both at 18" and zero light bleaching or heat issues. 😊
