Royal Dwarf PC Grow / Chinese LEDs

Been 2 weeks in veg (auto Royal Dwarf). After not giving my 2 first seedlings too much water when young, they got burnt. So, I have my last one and it's been about 2 weeks but she's only too small and I'm starting to think that I had her too close to the lights. Also, I'm having droopy leaves the couple last days, probably from overwatering, even though I've been watering her only when she dries out!! Any advice appreciated! I'll post some pics in a few hours.
I'm using:
Soil: All Mix (6.6 pH) mixed with perlite (later I'll add some vermiculite too)
Lights: eBay chinese leds (cool white for now), total about 70W
Lights program: 20 / 4
Air flow: PC case fan, 12V
I water with pH'd water (6.5)
My temperature is 25 C, and my humidity from 50 to 70%
Added some superthrive but nothing yet.
Advice needed!!

No expert here by any means but it could be that peat pot you got her in affecting your pH. I would flush and test the run off just to be sure.

First of all, thanks for the advice mate. Just flushed, tested the water and was 6.6, normal levels. Just can't explain this, it's supposed to have another 2 weeks in veg, (already 2) and has only 1 true pair of leaves.
Yellowing leaves could be a deficiency but I won't be doing nothing if I don't see true leaves yellowing..

I will start out by saying that I don't know a whole lot either, but those Embryo leaves are supposed to yellow and fall off, they only hold nutrients enough for it to start to mature until real leaves start to form.

Looks good to me.

What everybody else said... youre looking good. The leaves that are yellowing are the cotyledons and those tend to fall off eventually. Just dont overwater her now because you got a good start here. Lights should be about 3" away from the plant and when theyre usually that little i keep them covered with a clear plastic sandwich bag until the 3rd node to keep humidity.

I have to thank ALL of you guys for your time.
I was talking to some frirends on the phone, and they told me that these leaves are supposed to yellow and fall off after some weeks, leaving the plant some time to grow and become strong.
What they think is wrong, is that I've put her in a nutrient-high soil for start.
I don't know, I'm kinda confused!!

You're doing a very good job. Everything looks the way it's suppose to.

dont worry too much about the first two leaves I've had some that fall off as soon as the first real leaves pop out and others that stay nearly he whole duration of the grow.
their color never seems to reflect on the other plants

That was going to be my guess when you mentioned the other plants, but looking at the pics you posted of your current one, she seems fine. Overwatering or even too frequent of watering with high nute soil will cause those nutes to be released in huge quantities so be careful.

Hope to see some good bud pics in ~75 days

Didn't know that!! Thanks very much for the advice!!
I hope that too, I'm a first timer, even the lightest amount of buds would be ok for now!

I have read in the that no nutes until the 3 set of cross leaves appear.

If this is right, I would already have burned it. It may have happened, who knows.. Only time will show..
Sounds logic to me, though..!

Keeps growing, but her leaves are getting bent. Her first set almost touches the ground!

she still looks really healthy dude I wouldn't worry about the leaves curling. I've grow a bunch of plants ( many from unknown bagseed) and have seen leaves of all shapes and sizes. in my opinion She looks great.

Thanks mate! From your experience, could this problem slow her down? I mean, I expected 70 days from germination to yield, (RQS says 60 days), but could this give her another, let's say, 20 days more to be ready to harvest? Thanks!!

It's good to have a general idea of when to flip and when to harvest, but try not to set anything in stone. Some strains may flower for 10 weeks, some may take a while to reach sexual maturity.

She's looking really nice though.
-Also, I didn't believe it when I first started growing either but the "no nutes until her round leaves fall off" rule is because the plant uses the nutes from the leaves when it's fresh out of the dirt. A tiny bit of fertilizer every here and there never hurt, but make sure you don't overdo it. A little liquid kelp once a week never hurts anything, though.

Shit, thing's getting worse.. As you can see, the leaf is whitening up.. Can't remember seeing this anywhere else.. Anyway, it seems that it's the end.. January will be a new starting month..

Light bleaching... happens to LED users. Just move the plant further away from the lights and/or lower the wattage and you should be fine.
