Fan leaves are curling, why?

Growing in promix. Just watered for the second time in 14 days.

Using a a10 LED screw in bulb for the seedling. I believe it’s a 60 watt equivalent. 3000k.

Fan leaves are curling a bit on the sides. Anyone know why? Is it from the light being too close? This light emits almost no heat.

i thought 3000 k was a warm spectrum meant for flower. I believe around 6000k is better for blue light?

never used promix so not sure the soil properties. If this dried out a little too much do u think the nutrients would burn the root tips causing this? are u adding nutes or could it just be the soil getting a lil too dry? that looks almost rdy for transplant. I bet once u transplant this it will boom

Yes the light should be 6000 but all I had was 3000. It is ready for transplant. Happening this weekend.

Has not received any nutes at all. I don’t think it’s a soil issue or a dry issue to be honest. It was doing that on the first set of leaves a few weeks ago.

No worries, the soil may be a little "hot" since it has "3 months" worth of fertilizer built in . . . Which is bullshit. Your plant will burn through all those nutrients in about 4-5 weeks after transplant.

What's up with the temps.
Looks like the meter says it hit 40c.

Lol. You guys notice so much haha.

I had a 400 watt MH running for an hour a few weeks ago. That’s the reason why it hit 40C. I haven’t been using it. And haven’t reset the thermometer. It hovers around 24-26 now. I do need a heater cause it’s in the basement. That’s on a thermostat and kicks on at certain temps. Keeping it nice and even in there.

Also I want to note that I tilted the light upward for the photo. I normally have it a lot closer. Using a desk lamp at the moment. Had rough luck with seedlings. And for some reason what I’ve been doing has been working this way.

As for strain it is medical genetics candida cd1 strain.

If I gather what @Coloradoclear is saying it’s the soil with way too much nutes built in? But after I transplant I should be fine?

Raise your light a little and see if she straightens out...and manage your heat. Otherwise, I don't see anything wrong with the plant; looks good.

No, your nutrition is fine. Still needs a transplant but your particular case is heat or light, most likely heat.

Thanks guys. Makes me feel a bit better about the situation. Light was raised a bit. Will transplant in the next coming days when the soil dries up a bit more. This was my last bean. All the other seedlings died and this one just keeps on chugging. I get the feeling she may be a sativa phenotype.

Light was raised a tad. Going to check on it today. I think I’m going to transplant into 5 gallon today. I want to wait a bit more so soil can dry up. But I don’t want her to get root bound. Just gotta be extra careful when transplanting. I expect some soil to break off. Guess I gotta buy some nutes soon as now I’m getting into the stage of veg.

Heater I still need to adjust. Probably turn it off oscillating and turned down the temps a bit. I turned my heater down on the thermostat yet my tent is sitting at 26-27 lol.
