Cupping Leaves

What's up,

I recently undertook the challenge of growing my first plant. So far, it's been doing well. I'm using an Aerogarden Deluxe, FloraNova Nutrients, and a desk fan to circulate air around the system. Lately I've had a bit of trouble with cupping leaves. From what I've read it's either over-watering or over-heating, but I want to get some more opinions.

Attached are a couple pictures of what's going on. I'd like to nip this in the bud (no pun intended) before this gets out of hand. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I can't tell how close the lighting is in the pic, but your baby def. looks wilted to me! Try pulling the lights back a little bit. If you are using HPS or metal halide you should probably be at least 12 inches away, up to 18 inches pending on how many watts you are throwing around in there! What kind of nutrients are you running? What is your PH?

I believe you have too much nitrogen in them plants...

Also, you might wanna check over your ph

Good luck

Damn you guys are quick,

Okay I moved my lights up so I have a good foot between the bulbs and the plant.

As far as nitrogen is concerned, how can I effectively lower the amount of nitrogen in the plant?

Thanks for the help
