Leaves Glossy / Curling Slightly. What's wrong?

whats up ya'll. I just recently started growing. I have a 4x8 tent, 2 750w KIND LED lights, 4 small fans blowing air, and 12 plants in Veg. I started them the 11th of this month. I use Fox Farm Happy Frog soil. Emerald Harvest: Emerald Goddess, ProTekt, and Rapid Start root enhancer. I keep a temp of around 76-82 degrees in there with a RH of 60-70 when lights on. 68-75 degrees and 50-60 RH when lights off. I started with Clones and a few days ago, transplanted them in to 3gal fiberpots. Roots were looking healthy and strong. I have a few questions as this is my first grow.
#1 A few of the leaves are curling at the tips and a few of them are glossy and one was almost curving upwards. What is the cause of this? My pH in soil is 6.5-7.0, could it be from humidifier or is it too much Nitrogen? I tried to find out online and couldn't find any solid answers. Here are a few pics from day 1 and today. Also one of the glossy, curling fan leaves. Oh yeah, and the clones are Gelato.
Anyone know what's wrong?

Another dilemma I'm running in to, is exactly how much to water a 3gal pot when plants are this size. About 6in height

You don't need much. When a plant is small in a large container and you over water it can drown the roots. Moisture meters are cheap and can be found anywhere.
Simple test is if the pot feels heavy do not water. If it feels light then give a little bit.

Thank you! I definitely believe part of the problem is overwatering. I gave each plant a shit ton of water to get run off. This is first time doing indoor and I'm learning as I go.

Second pic those leafs are pretty damn dark green I'd back off on the N for sure ....if your leaf tips are pointing directly down then you are giving them to much N .......as far as watering the lift method works good if you have some completely dry medium to compare it with before you water ......make sure you let it dry out good before you water again those little plants will go several days in those giant pots before needing more water ...remember they like a lil dry period inbetween waterings .....I personally will wait until my plants actually ask me for water by getting a lil droopy/wilt when I first start watering new plants then I count the days/time inbetween watering and them starting to wilt and water a lil before that .......it doesn't hurt them at all and gives you pretty much an exact time/days for a water schedule and they perk rite back up in less than 30 minutes .......good luck

I didn't say there wasn't too much n. That was already addressed. But the first pic has curling going on.... that is too much water.

Lol, if the leaves weren't dark green and glossy, and the leaves were actually curled not pointing down, then it would be water. Those critters are pointing down.

The first pics shown on that link are good examples of over watered plants. Did you look? The plants in question look nothing like it.

I never said it wasn't too much n! but I've been growing long enough to know that with new growers they over water often. Curl is a sign of too much water. Just end it I can't tell either can you if the pot is heavy or light. All I said Was to make sure the pot is light before watered again.
Stopping the N feeding is an obvious.

I hear you. N tox is common as well. And if people misdiagnose they can hit a wall.
Yes, overwatering causes a curl, but not that kind of curl. There is a difference, and it is huge. If you read that link you posted, it shows bad curls from over watering. And also curl from n tox. Happy farming, Ganga gurl!
