You running a fan on them? Look a little thin in the stem. Tops lookin healthy.
So far so good?

Not as long as you have movement.

I've been really watching the stems since Jypsy Dog mentioned them. As I said I played around adjusting the placement of the fans, watching the movement across the tent. I figured out my 6 inch Hurricane at the top of the tent is to far away and not doing enough. Also going to build a small raised platform for the fan I am using as intake, doing this will allow for better movement to get above the pots. Going to work on something also to bring the fan from the top down closer to the playing field.
In the meantime I placed a slim tower oscillating fan in the corner to see how it does and to help out until I fine tune things. As far as the stems, they are getting thicker and looking better IMO. Tomorrow will be two weeks out of soil, and will post some pics. I also raised the light 1 1/2 inches.

That depends... I run mine around 65 in veg. The curl on your leaves make me think you could go up.

Thanks Jypsy, I'll look into it later, I am getting ready to leave for work. I noticed the curl the other day and looked into it, I ruled it off as heat stress and raised the light a bit. Before you posted last I did bump the humidity up a tad. I'll check on them in the morning when I get home and report any findings.

Ok rookie mistakes were made! What Jypsy said about humidity was driving me crazy all night at work. I currently have an injured foot so I took advantage of that and took some long sitting breaks, and researched on my phone. First mistake, light was too low. Even when I raised it the other day it was still too low.
Second mistake, when setting up the tent I never really set up my Inkbird Humidity controller. I plugged some numbers in, never calibrated it, put some tape over the red digits since I know the no light rule when lights out and really never looked at them. I always relied on my Acurite unit. Last night I removed the tape and the numbers on the Inkbird and the Acurite were way off. So when I got home I calibrated the controller and to my surprise was off by 12%. I think I got it set now but am going to keep a close eye on it, even moved it to the outside of the tent so no more tape and can easily see the unit all the time.
For the rest of my day I am going to check on things and watch.
Thanks for the replies from everyone, so helpful!

Ok day 2 of insanity, on day 2 I found some clarity. From what I have been reading 50-55% humidity will be ok. I have also looked into air circulation and in my findings I moved everything around except the carbon filter and exhaust fan this morning. I lowered the 6" Hurricane and got rid of the tower fan as I feel it was working against me. I swapped sides with the intake fan and humidifier to see what happens.
After looking into thing, and please correct me if I am wrong, I now believe some of the leaf curling was due to excessive wind (windburn). My girls haven't been doing the salsa they were in the mosh pit, another rookie mistake! I was so worried about there stem development, they are looking nice except for one it seems a bit week.
