Hi guys,

2 weeks seedling, under a 55w (act draw) 7 band cob led, in a 65% forest soil 35% perlite mix, 86 fahrenheit in day and 80 fahrenheit in evenings. the light is 18'' away from the plant (the producer of the led suggests more 24''+ distance btw; i thought this is much)

Planted two weeks ago. The forest soil already included 2-3-3 NPK in it and before planting the baby, I have added a full dose 7-5-6 liquid fert to the soil. (yes, im an idiot) . So far it was so good and I didnt suspect I have a over-fert problem.

Now:
Yesterday, I suspected a nitrogen def because of the new growth was light/lime green and I have added very very little amount of fert (I really think it was very little, 1/10 of the recommended dose or sth).

1- Is it normal to have lighter green new growth for my seedlings? I dont think it is lime green but Im not sure. You can refer to the second picture below
2- Do i have a claw problem? It is not that curled imo but as Im a newbie, I cant be sure. you can refer to the first picture
3- Any other suggestions on my seedling?

Thank you in advance guys.

Yes, the brighter color definitely equalizes with the rest of the leaf as it grows.

appreciate your help. It is so easy to overthink when you are a newbie.:)
