Hi this is my first grow and I'm 8 days in. The plants look healthy in my opinion but one them is starting to curl a little bit and one is growing far more rapidly than the other. Any suggestions or tips?

Taco leaves normaly means too hot/dry.

Are the lights too close?

Let's put it this way your not the first person who has used it .....the only thing is some of these multi purpose plant soils can be a little hot for new mj seedlings .....if the soil has nutes in it already don't add nothing to your soil for a while

Oh ok my mistake I apologize ....I would just order something that's for MJ Cause it's all formulated for what we grow And even with the correct nutrients it can be difficult So I'd just try my hardest to find some mj nutes like ff etc

Extremely good advice. Killer advice. Newer growers pay heed. More plants are killed by love than neglect I promise.

The Curling could just be because the temps getting to hot. Are you using a fan to blow air over the lights/plants? one thing i had an issue with early on was not having cool air circulating in my grow space and i had curling up leaves similar to yours. I added a fan to keep the Lights cool and circulate the air and havent had that problem since.

Yeah I have a fan but it wasn't directly on them. I changed it earlier to directly on them

Then it is possible that your lights are to close for the moment. What is your Light Config... ie, 23W CFL, 68W CFL.... i use 23W 5000k/6500k CFL's for veg and i use 68W 2700k CFL's for Flower. But they still produce enough heat that they can heat stress your babies. as for one growing faster than the other i wouldn't be to concerned if they are just at different distances to the lights, due to one being heat stressed more than the next. However, i have heard rumor, so don't quote me on this, that males grow faster than females. i haven't ever experienced it so i would not truly know. But i think your fine to be honest. just monitor your temps and listen to the veterans above that have the most knowledge about nutes and watering. you'll be fine.
