So I went to check up on my baby and she has changed drastically over night yesterday she was a normal 3 day old sprout. I transplanted her and will admit messing up and bending her stem I knocked over the jiffy pot she was in but no real big damage I suppose a stressor for sure. Any ways put her in a new pot watered her and back in the pc she went Left her on since shes on 24 he light and when I Checked her this evening her leaves have changed point upward just like this ---> Y looks like the letter y. Why is that? I did some research both the answers are conflicting one another. If any one has had this before and know how to fix it I would greatly appreciate the help. Oh and if this helps I have two 100 watt cfls 2700k in a small pc one pc fan it gets warm in there I don't know if it gets too hot the pot is warm to the touch but the leaves show no sign of withering they are perfectly green no burning or curling of the leaves edges. Oh and it's an autoflowering mayday express from poistronic seeds

Lets see some pics tell you the truth leaves pointing up usually means a happy girl is it like she's just suking up the light rays.

I figured it was a heat issue I got a thermometer and it was pushing 89.5 I made a spot for more air to get in but now the only problem is light is now escaping the box. Once I did that her leaves went back down. I'll post pictures in the next hour or so the before and after but like I said she has no signs of heat stress I wonder if she could thrive in 90 degree weather..

Sounds like she might like warmer temps :p Yes, I always see the 45 degree upward leaves as a sign of satisfaction.

Uploading the photos momentarily.. Oh if anyone is interested i am going to do a complete grow journal. There has been many done but as for the strain that i have not so much.. i looked all over google but have had no success and so im sure there are many like me poistronics mayday express needs some publicity.

View attachment 2040668View attachment 2040670 Okay so picture one was day 5 on 24/hr light i moved her about two inches from the light the night before so day 4 when I saw this I freaked because i have never seen this happen before. Made more air holes and moved her down from the light 1/4 of an inch. replaced my original 2 100w 2700k cfls with two 100w 6500k cfls two days later the second picture was taken.

Although i will take precautions to make sure she is going to be fine but at this point in time theres nothing i can do my friend needs it concealled and i asked him to put in another fan but he just wont do it. He said he can't afford anymore light so she will have to push through and if she can't its not on me.
But on a more positive side she doesn't show no serious signs of heat stress i have a crappy camera but when i look at it it has a nice dark green hue and the leaves arent brittle. Considering the strain is prodominantly sativa I think genetically i have more play in the heat department but thats only an assumption on my part.

But as I stated early my buddy asked me to see if I could help him build a pc grow because he watched them on youtube and wanted to see if he could get away with it (without other people in his house finding out) He wanted 1 autoflowering lowryding plant quick harvest and organic growth. And thats just what we are going to do now sadly he isn't a very motivated person and laziness might just be his most aggresive personality trait. Well we will say passive very passive im left to make sure it gets done. SO since its in his house he calls the shots i make sure it can be done if it can't based on his personal choices than the failure of the plant will be his not mine.

Looks like its stretching .I would move a cfl light closer and put a fan blowing above it on low. Looks good now..
