Hi all I posted this in Newbie Central but I'm not sure how much response I'll get there. Here is one of my babies at a week and a half. Lookin' kinda sick maybe?? Could the misshapen leaves be the result of a watering issue? This is my first grow so I'm looking advice. Thanks!

oh, nevermind then.. I can't say that I can diagnose your problem..but when my leaves look like that it's because of my HPS

so you think its curling like this because the light is too far away? not because of watering?

well, I really don't know. when my 400w gets too close to my canopy, the top leaves curl like that, it's kind of their way of telling me to raise the light.

75watts is definitely not enough for 6 plants.

didnt think so... but still this early in the stage would lack of light cause the curling? ive been planning on getting another light in the next week or so, cant do it immediately

no if it was lack of light ya plant wouldnt have them size leaves,but you will need a better light for when there abit bigger,especially for 6,250watt will be ok,but you might aswell get a 400watter coz they dont cost much more!sometimes young leaves look a bit deformed like that,they usually grow out of it.
