First grow, should I be seeing this? (First leaf curling down)

They have their true leaves go ahead and give them baby food mix.

OK, next watering they get some nutes. Does that look like any sort of deficiency to you though? It's somewhat hard to see on the picture but it's almost as if there are lightning strike veins of yellow there.

yeah they are hungry little plants Can you feed them today?
Moondance
woops forgot something.

I could but was a bit nervous about over watering, I watered yesterday morning but i've been doing circles around the plant instead of soaking the entire pot. It's still a bit damp if I stick my finger in, do you think it's okay?

And also do you recommend I start soaking the entire pot (cloth pot 5 gallon) until 30% runoff? I wasn't sure if the plant would drink enough to dry the soil out between feeedings yet.

Nope dont water then it will be too wet for its size and pot size it wont dry out quick enough, you could make up a light folar nutrient spray and spray it when the lights go out, that would get food to it without soaking the soil again.

Thanks Moondance you're always helpful. I will do that tonight before their bedtime. I have my intake fan pointed at the coth pots (not directly on plants) and i've left my tent open after watering so that it dries out quicker. Been rotating the pots. Hopefully by tomorrow night I can give them some water.

After the lights go out with a flashlight or headlamp light dont do it with lights on. Bulbs can explode and plants can burn.

So they've been doing pretty well, seem to be growing somewhat slow. I haven't given any nutes and wasn't planning on it until day 14 of sprout (and was going to give like 1/5 strength to start) but some of the leaves are looking like they have some yellow streaks in them. Is this also normal? I am using distilled water, could it be a lack of CaMg? Picture coming
anyone ? :( didn't want to start a new thread.
Your 1st grow you say. You're making me nervous with all this talk of fertilizer. With fresh fox farm that baby will be fine without fertilizer, only water for at least a month, Some strains will go to harvest in ffof without ever needing fertilizer.. Although yes you do want to use cal mag if using distilled water

I agree with Buba! With the fox farm I don't give any additional nutrients for at least the first month. I do some foliars with seaweed juice, but that's just about it. They do great. Be careful with your watering. Over watering and over feeding cause most problems that newbies have with their plants.

This is making me nervous.. my first seed has sprouted but 1 of the first leaves is really curling towards the ground. Should I be concerned?
Wow! You are going to be a nervous wreck by flowering!! If you are in potting soil I wouldn't feed them. Just relax and water until you have several sets of real leaves, not those round seedling leaves. Then start your scheduled feedings
