Good afternoon fellow farmers! I'm a new grower and I had a question so I can hopefully rectify my situation (if necessary) before it potentially becomes a bigger problem. There's so much conflicting information online about humidity, temperature, VPD, pH, ventilation, light type/intensity etc and was hoping to get some advice from some experienced indoor growers.
Upon inspecting my seedling this morning, I noticed its leaves are curled downward slightly. The plant itself still looks very healthy, I'm just unsure if this is a normal amount of bending in the leaves or if it's the beginning of a problem in need of correction. Here is some information on the seedling:
Strain: Purple Punch Feminized from Seed Supreme
Grow Space: 2'x4' Indoor Grow Tent (AC Infinity Cloudlab 642)
Grow Light: AC Infinity IONFRAME EVO3 - 18" above seedling on setting 4 on an 18on/6off cycle (as per manufacturer spec)
Ventilation: AC Infinity 4" Air Filtration PRO Kit w/ carbon filter - Currently have this set to run at setting 3 on a 24/7 basis, only going up as needed to correct temperature
Intake: RAXIAL S4 4" Booster Duct Fan - This is installed but not running, I seem to be getting enough passive intake with the exhaust fan to create negative pressure and draw air in on its own
Oscillating Fan: AC Infinity CLOUDRAY S6 - Currently running at setting 2 on a 24/7 basis (not directly blowing on seedling)
Custom Soil Mix: (1) 40QT bag Kellogg Organic Plus Potting Mix, (1) 1.4lb Coco Coir brick rehydrated with 1gal warm water for 15 minutes, mixed until soil like consistency, 2.5 cups Uncle Jim's Worm Castings, 4 Quarts Perlite, 1 Quart Vermiculite - soil is currently sitting at a pH of 7.0
Average Temperature: 75°F
Average Humidity: 75%
Average VPD: 0.7
Time In Tent: As of this posting, the seedling as been in the tent for 6 days. Before planting in soil and placing in the tent, the seedling had about a 1.5cm taproot and fully emerged from the soil the morning after placing it in the grow tent (Not sure if this info is necessary)
Watering: So far, I watered this seedling with 6.3pH RO water the day I transplanted it into the soil and haven't watered it since. The humidity seems to be keeping the soil moist while still allowing it to dry slightly (the top inch or so of soil is dry - not bone dry but doesn't feel too moist either) As you can see from the catch tray under the cup in the provided photos, the soil is able to drain excess moisture. I read an article the other day that I cannot seem to find again at the moment that said this is okay for a seedling as long as you have proper air circulation and ventilation, although I feel like this might potentially be the root of the problem
Hopefully this is a healthy plant, and I'm just being an overprotective plant dad.
If you guys need any more information to be able to give me an accurate and reliable diagnosis, let me know and I'll be more than happy to provide it!
Thank you in advance for taking a look at my post and providing any feedback.
