Seems mostly ok but I think something's off...

I'm growing from a local breeder and the strain is called Lemon Tree. I'm currently on day 22. I'm growing in a 2x2x4 so not a lot of space. I have one of the Migro Array 2 lights. My medium is a soil mix with perilite. Running the GreenGro nutrient line. As far as the plant she seems like she's doing fairly ok but maybe a little small and her leaves seem to be pointing down which doesn't seem right. I'm uploading some pictures to see if anyone notices anything I'm not. I appreciate any advice.

Most likely from having the fan blowing directly on it.

Do you think I should move the fan so it's not blowing directly on it? As far as watering I've researched that's a common issue with new growers and I feel like I've been pretty good with the watering and paying a lot of extra attention to not over water. Not saying it's not possible though either. And thank you for the replies.

Yea. Don't have it blowing directly on the plant. Just need the air be moving around in the tent. Also doesn't hurt to wait an extra day or two before waterings. I've had to learn the hard way recently in my grow.

Would it be better to oscillate the fan so that it hits the plant then moves off it then comes back to the plant? The reason I have it blowing on the plant is from my research that's the very first form of LST to encourage your roots to grow and your stalk to fatten up.

Since it's been on it probably its whole life, I'd let it rest. You're right that wind helps the plants stalks get stronger but since its still young. I'd let it get older and have branches to strengthen.

If remember right the wind creates micro tears in the cell walls of the stem/branches. Not sure about promoting root growth. Then without wind it the plant heals those tears. Similar to lifting weights at the gym.
