Welcome, your doing fine! There are no dumb questions, except for the ones we're afraid to ask! Good growing mang!
Has anyone experienced twisting sugar leaves?

Nice. Getting hydro right the first time isn't really hard, but organic is something else from what I've understood. I've only grown hydro so far.

get a ppfd ( light strength ) reading and also know ur canopy temps ( not rooms temps) and also know ur rh of this canopy .
to know if your in right zone for the temp , if no co2 and in veg have it at 72-80f, follow vpd and have ur rh based on such. run your lights at 40-50% what u would at max ppfd/light % in bloom. I suggest a wireless monitor or a hydrostore rh/temp with probe meters (under 20 bucks )
if no ppfd meter , I suggest free phone app, use this as a general reading and you’ll know quick if ur using way more in certain zones and also if u need to raise Or lower, it’s crazy how a few inches can change the % and sucess . In veg have 250-500 ppfd , in flower 500 start of flower, raise every few days and have it to in mid flower at 850-1200, I suggest 950-1000 ppfd . Many strains dont want and will degrade vs help so it’s really good to watch and adjust with such. if above 850 ppfd u really should be running co2 also. I run my feed and co2 based on the ppfd, so if my ppfd is 1,000. My co2 and feed are very similiar. I’ve experimented with more or less and using that amount seems to work perfectly. think of a muscle builder = they will need more wster, air and feed to stay energized.
if no co2 keep under 850-900 ppfd and keep temps under 80f canopy . Follow vpd graph based on temps to rh and you’ll realize many grows aren’t on that point and that’s if not why so many plants have issues and stressed.

amazing wireless environmental monitor , saved my grows so many but also got me to tweak it to near perfection. it’s a huge part to sucess .

free phone ppfd meter, also suggest make sure to measure daily ur distance of led to canopy. majority of company’s give their suggestion of distance. Key is measuring daily cause I’ve multiple times forgot and let it be to close and than a day or two goes by than I fry my tops. live and learn lol

^ I never paid for other spectrums, it’s a great tool for knowing ur general % and key is follow instructions on how to use it. Meaning to use it u use a paper over the camera as a filter for the meter.
