Curling leaves?

I’m on week 2 and 3 of my 2 autoflowers.
I’ve noticed a slight curling/clawing of the leaves, I’ve read this could be due to overwatering.
Any other reasons this could be? And how do I solve it?

Using regular tap water with a PH of around 7.

1x Purple Auto (autoflower) in Miracle Gro potting soil (5Litre). - week 3
1x Pink Kush (autoflower) in Westland potting soil (10Litre)- week 2

Using a MarsHydro 300w LED to nurse both plants in a 2x2.
Haven’t added any nutrients yet.

I would leave them alone. More likely to make matters worse. One thing you can do is de-chlorinate and PH to 6.5.

So do you reckon the only thing I should change is use distilled water and get the PH to 6.5?
I water them 1-2 times a day depending on how dry they look - does that sound fine?

Tap water is typically fine. You just have to let it sit out in a bucket for a day or so, preferably with a fish tank bubbler in it. And yes 6.5. You should only be watering once every 2-4 days so I would bet you are over watering.

Now that i look closer at the pics that soil looks soaked. And you should have mixed perlite in but its to late for that.

Thanks dude, really?! I had no idea it was that little.
So 2-4 days all the way to harvest?
100% overwatering then haha.

The one in the Westland soil looks and feels proper dry every morning, should I just ignore that?

Are the pots super light? Hard to tell how big they. If a plant that small is draining your pot daily, you will need bigger pots. Does it feel dry an inch under the surface of the soil?
