Slightly curled leaves?

Today is the 8th day since I've planted a germinated Northern Light seed. This is my first grow. Its been growing pretty fast the past two days. It's in 1/3 perlite, 3/4 FF Happy Frog. No nutes yet. Right now it's growing under a 55watt 2700k cfl, and two 20watt 2700k cfls, but these two are off to the side a bit. The plant looks pretty healthy I think except parts of the leaves seem to me curling up and down. Not the whole leaves, just little sections all spread out. I can't tell if the edges are darker than they're supposed to be either. The leaves seem thin, I don't know if they're supposed to be thicker? Last time I checked pH was 5 days ago. It was around 6-6.3 I believe but I was using API drops for aquariums so idk if it was accurate. It was kind of hard to read. I can't test the pH again for another two or three days because I just watered yesterday. I water with Great Value distilled water out of the gallon every 4 days until a little bit comes out of the bottom of the pot. The temperatures have ranged from 75-85 but for the past two days it's been around 79 degrees.

Is this curling natural? Check out these pictures:

They're fine homie... Patience is key. Get your temps lower or you will run into trouble later.

Thick veins in them leaves suggest the plant has just been watered or even over watered ...but looking good, as a soil grower ..its always very difficult to understand that getting correct Ph reading in soil is impossible, many noobs will argue that to read the water run off is the way, but that is the ambulance at the end of the cliff, as soil is an active medium in itself soil will correct any ph problem, if allowed too, or better in doubt look to the flush when thing go wrong...for now you are looking good, don't spoil it by feeding to soon, but if you do to my blog:https://www.rollitup.org/blogs/blog32237-flush-baby-flush.html

look to putting in a small fan later ...plants gotta breathe too! ..lol

First, walk away for a week. Come back give it Ph'd water around 6.5-7.5 no nutes for at least the first month. Why? Plenty of nutes in ur Happy Frog. I use the same soil! Once u get to a month u can give it 25%-50%. Can I recommend u read a book or two! It would explain this!

Biggest mistake for all soil growers is tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo MUCH water. I use 6-10 gallon pots and water once every 5-7 days, depending on what week of flower! Of course the smaller the pot the the faster it will dry, BUT you don't have enough heat being generated so u should only water once a week for awhile!
