How's she lookin?

What do you guys think?

I see some "cupping"? on the leaf edges... Also, the stems and underside branches are purplish kinda.. I hear this is normal on a plant this young though (18 days old).

Anyone??? Is the cupping normal? What about the purple stems?

I think the cupping has to do with too much heat on top of the plant. Purple stems is a genetics issue or could be lack of nutrients.

It looks dehydrated, turn off lights and spray water on leaves

Glad to see it didn't turn out to be lettuce.

I had the same thing happen. Purple'ish stems and curled leaves. I asked a grower to take a look at it and he said don't worry about it. He said they're just growing really fast and that they'd straighten out. They did.

The leaves in the top left and top right of the photo show my leaf curl. I don't know if it's the same thing thats happening to yours but it looks like it. Don't do anything drastic yet. Wait a day and see what happens.

your dirt looks dry to

Dude the top of the dirt is going to dry out pretty quick that doesn't mean you need to water it.

They look pretty good, as far as the purple, that is sometimes caused by cold temperature. You probably have good temps but if they are cold then that is the cause. As far as the cupping, they are just growing fast, it isn't from overwatering or underwatering so just keep what you are doing and they should turn out fine.

It is prolly not too cold in there. Could be too hot. I may have increased the heat a slight bit more tonight so will see tomorrow if it is worse or better or what.

I have been watering about 2C worth every 2-3 days. I think it is plenty. I lifted the pot and compared to another pot which had same amount of soil but no water, so I think it is fine, just the top of the soil is dry - that is quite common from the heat of the lights.

I will wait a few more days and see what happens, I may need to back off the heat or something - we'll see.

btw, color is DARK green. You cannot tell from these pics but it is deep dark green. Definitely looks very healthy and it has been growing like crazy so I guess it is...

whats your temp?
