First time grow led bulb having issues

Last night I discovered that the leaves on my plant are starting to fold upwards towards the light ? Is that normal ? Also one of the leaves is turning yellow and another leave looks like it's burnt on the tips ? What do you guys think ? I haven't given any nutes in four days and poured water into the Container my pot is sitting in . The soil feels some what moist. Idk what to do...
 
I had it at 8 inches . And it started happening then I thought it wasn't hitting it enough so I moved it closer to three inches and it grew two inches over night . But bottom leaves look worse. I will feed it some. Grow big tonight. How many teaspoons should I do ?
 
I don't have a fan in there at the moment could that be it ? I'm only running 6 14 watt led bulbs
 
place your hand under the light close to the plants is it warm? not hot but warm/ Is not you might want to move the lights closer. If the leaves are bending up it might mean not enough light. Those store bought Bulb Led's do not have all the spectrum the plant needs as well. My led's are purple when on.
 
Last night I moved them them down and they really started to grow ! But the yellowing got worse . Nutrition problem ?
 
when leaves cup or roll up like that its called "Taco -ing or Canoe -ing" its caused by "Vapor Pressure"
google it, read up ,
you can apply some simple things to correct this,, matching your humidity to your temp is the best thing,, but if you have no way to control humdity, most of us have ways to control our temps,
if you can not adjust neither of those,, then adding fans helps and increasing your exhaust fan speed helps,
strong lights can effect VP, and raising the lights if the plant is struggling helps VP in this instance,, i doublt your having those issues with the store bought LED Bulbs
Speaking of your led bubls,, take off the outter glass layer,, twist it off, or break the glue,, if that doesnt work break off the glass gently and expose the led diodes,, you will get a bump in light power,, plus you wont be going thru the frost of the glass any longer,
hope this helps

Ok so I will look into taking the glass off tonight. And I will go buy a small fan to see if that helps . I'll keep you updated ! Thanks for the help !
