Turn up the light on slowly

Yeah, I already turned it up to roughly 500 PPFD.
That may be kinda high.

If she starts turning pale or yellowing turn down the light. I have my plants that are in mid veg at 450 par

500ppfd is at the high end of the range during early veg but if your environment is on point, I find I can push mine to the edge and not have any issues. Not that you need telling but keep a close eye on her.
Peace and love

Day #10
Well, looks like it was a bit too much light, as the leaves started curling downwards. I’ve increased the distance to 40cm and the plant is getting about 400PPFD.
Other than that she’s looking good and you can already see the first set of true leaves coming out.
She also got approximately 250ml of plain water.

She looks hungry, when last feeding?

I gave her 250ml of plain water yesterday. I normally don’t feed them for the first two weeks or until the have their first 5 pronged leaves.
Or do autoflowers need nutrients earlier?
Tacoing, leaves is usually too much light she’s not doing that, downward curl is water. Best to back off the light a little bit and give her a top of cal mag and N don’t skimp on microbes.

This is what she looks like now.
Do you think she’s not getting enough water?
The first 3-4cm of soil, which I added later, are dry, but the rest is still moist.
I’ve read that leaves can also curl downwards to prevent leaves burn/decrease light exposure. Or isn’t that correct?
Since I already watered it yesterday, I will wait until tomorrow/day after tomorrow and also add some Hesi Bio Grow and Hesi SuperVit.

She may not like getting her toes too wet. I’ve had plants that when we water they would drop and snap out as they dry back, but looking at the pictures she looks kinda like some fading in the leaves, like maybe time for a little bit of Nitrogen. She’s growing very fast!

Yeah, I will give her some fertiliser with the next watering.
Could the drooping leaves be a result of stagnant warm air and a moist ground over a long time period?
I only have a fan and leave the tent door open when I’m home. The exhaust fan I ordered will arrive tomorrow, though.
Looks fine to me. I would just let it sit and see what the plant tells you. She won’t need a lot of water for a bit.

Yeah I was going to say leaf droop like that can be VPD related or too moist medium.
Leaves usually curl up/canoe/taco at the edges with too much light. Doesn’t look bad at all, I’d just let it dry out a bit. BioBizz light mix is light, probably do need to start feeding now.

Your soilless mix is getting a bit dry on top. Check the weight of the pot and if it’s light go ahead and do a very light feed slowly to the top and try to get the top back to field capacity! Doing good though. I’d let the plant catch up to the light intensity for a week or so!
