Hello guys so my babies are almost 3 weeks in and the tips of their leaves started curling upwards. Any idea what might be causing this?

3 weeks really small plants hard to say. it normaly curls up if the heat is too big,but looks burned like you gave too much food. how often do you water whats the power of light how far away. whats the temperature..... how much do you feed

17 days old right now. I did fear that the soil mix I used was a little bit too strong. It’s growing in organic soil, I’m not feeding anything except water. I thought I might have overwatered so so didn’t water for 3 days. Waiting till the pots dry a little bit.
SF4000 running at 50% recommended distance. Which is 26”
Temperature at 22c RH 60

Well water. But some show they need food, some show maybe too much food in the medium :3

What is the ph of that water / tested with pen ?
Type of “ organic soil “ … they are not getting anything from that medium hence the lack of nitrogen / uptake.

Grass is friend? :’(
also yes I did mix this soil myself with what I can get my hands on in Sri Lanka. Not the easiest task but I’ve done alright in the past. This mixture I did feel it a bit strong. I did let it cook for a month but I guess it needed longer.
And so I checked the PH just now and it’s at 4.8. I don’t know if the meter is off but I will recalibrate the meter and check again in the morning.
I feel like this is a Ph fuck up too, no reason why the babies wouldn’t be taking up the food.
Thank you all for your help, I wasnt thinking much about the Ph but got me on track

The white stuff you see is a bit of mycelium growing on it. Had a little mushie too earlier

That light sounds like it is a bit strong and a bit close.

Hey man so I calibrated my Ph meter and my water is at 6.53ph :3 so it’s not an Ph issue? I will measure the run off and lyk as well
