First time grower:
Trans Siberian auto
6 days since germ
20"x36"x62"
79-82*F
45-55 rh
FFOF/5gal pots
Fans about 5" away blowing on lowest setting
KIND LED L450 @ 32" away....

She seems to be growing well in her first week, but I've noticed some slight discoloration and "taco-ing" in her leaves. I misted with a spray bottle last night and some residual was left on her--that's when I noticed the discoloration. Any ideas?

No, I haven't added anything. Only fox farm ocean Forrest. Not even sure how to add nitrogen. Do she look stressed?

Thanks. What about overall growth. Look healthy otherwise? I had an air king 6" clip fan blowing right on it, so I redirected the air flow a bit so it's not blowing directly on her. Also, is my humidity fine at 45-55%?

Still growing pretty well. She's at 8 days from popping out of the soil. However, the leaves still have a slight distressed look. I'm thinking it's from spraying them with a spray bottle at like 4 days.

It wouldnt hurt if you add some Cal Mag or some Silica, if you no tfamiliar just google it, it will help to promote better health for your plants. It is indeed a bit warmish for the little one right now, try to drop it to lower 70's then bum it up. I dont feed them nutes after like 10 days or so. I strart with half of the recomended amount. I use floranova grow for veg.

Ocean Forrest can run pretty hot, especially for a tiny seedling like that. You will likely be fine, but I wouldn't add anything beyond just plain water for the next few weeks. I have found that Ocean Forest has enough juice to get you to 5-6 weeks all by itself, at which point you could start supplementing with whatever nutrients you are using.

So you don't think I should give her a calmag treatment?

I wouldn't mess with it.

The next plant you grow, pick up a more inert medium to start it in. Happy Frog would be fine. A plant doesn't need any type of nutrient until it develops a few node sets.

new growth is showing signs of this too. Obviously something is not right. Again, doesn'tseem to be hindering growth.
