First time grower. Gonna take a stab at this grow journal thing. I'm definitely going to be asking some questions along the way!
I noticed yesterday the tops of the leaves appear to be a lighter green than the other parts of the leaves. I've read this could be from overwatering, light burn (although I haven't noticed these leaves "praying" at all) or possible nutrient lockout (I've fed zero nutrients, only letting them feed off the soil).
There is a chance I've overwatered. I assume that will just happen being a new grower. For about 2 days the light was at 30%, but turned back down to 25% yesterday. This is my first grow, so naturally I'm worried about every little thing that appears to be not normal.

I tried to take some really good close-ups. Let me know if I should take more photos.
Looks good! New growth will start as yellow and then quickly turn to green.
Sigh of relief there, thank you!
On a side note, I'm a chapter away from finishing your book. Super informative but I love how you break it down in an easy to understand way. Thanks for all you do.
Good luck. First time grower here also. I am going to be popping my first seeds in a couple of days. I have the same light as you and will be working in a 2 x 4 x 7 tent in fox farm ocean forest. I have been watching Mr. Grow it videos on youtube for a few weeks. He does a great job explaining. I am sure I will be asking several questions here as well as getting his book.
Good luck with your grow as well!
Hi, all!
So, the little girls have grown some more, about two inches in height since I first posted this. They both look healthy, as far as I can tell.
One of the girls is giving me a bit of concern - looks like the leaves have an ever so slight curl to the bottom along the edges. My first time growing so I might just be overreacting from how the leaves develop. It's also quite possible that I overwatered and it's just a sign of stress.
I'll post some pictures for feedback. I'm sorry for these pics, I tried to catch what I think is curling but I failed with each photo. Please tell me what you think.
