Bending leaf?!

if you have a cool tube hooked up you don`t have to worry that much about heat,you just need ventilation for the cool tube and around the plants.
get the lamp a bit higher and lower it everyday ,if you leave it like this you will start to notice little light burns on the first 2 leaves,in about 1-2 weeks only a slight change because of
potassium def from your high temp/light and low humidity which makes plant use more potassium because it helps the plant in the transpiration process.
misting in dim light/no light at all should get rid of the problem in a few days the plant toughen up but still must get light higher especially if you have a seedling get it at about 16-18in and lower everyday an inch if it`s too hot still,get a cooltube(if you don`t have any),and put some recipient with water in it over your ballast if you have a magnetic ballast ,the water will evaporate faster because it`s hot and increase humidity:)

i like foliar feeding for the simple fact that the fan blowing on the wet leaves makes the mainstem grow strong quicker, and it doesn't allot lanky seedlings. your seedling looks great by the way, but like jwhiter said be careful about misting under the hps. I do it all the time under t5's and have no water burn. good amount of air i think is the trick so the water isn't sitting on there too long. too much air will make it over transpirate though which is why its important to have your ventilation correct :) hope some of this helps! also foliar feedings good if you notice any deficiencies you want to correct quickly, do a small dose in the soil and a small foliar feed and ease your way up.!

no disrespect but i dont see the point in misting unless your plants require it. his dont imo but each grower has their own little things they like to do i suppose.

Cheers for the interest! I'll try those few things; moving the light up and misting, sounds good. I haven't a cooling tube, but I have a powerful outtake fan that's suckin the whole lot out there. What I have neglected (as I'm broke) is a desk fan...I know, for shame. So that shall be purchased monday, along with my grow n bloom nutes.

I went with Cervantes' advice..."electric above, water below", so my ballast along with the fan, carbon filter and all the leads go into the roof; pots and everything else stay on the ground!

The difference in humidity would be negligible. And if your running a ballast that gets hot enough to drive off water I'd be shopping for a new ballast.
