this is my first real indoor grow and i have a auto berry ryder at about 2 weeks old under 150w hps and the leaf edges are starting to curl up, what could this be from and what should i do any help:?:
IMG_0941.jpgbottom leaves started to curl first and i just let it be, now this morning i realized a few points on the side of the bigger leaves are starting to curl a bit, what do i do and why is this happening:?:

Too hot and/or light too intense.

How close is the light? What are the temps?

alltreat farms all purpose potting soil.. probally hasnt been let to dry to much.. i water a little bit with spray bottle every day but am letting it get extra dry this time. how long should i wait to water and how much water should i give them.. i have fox farm trrio and want to start using the "grow big" just not sure how much to use in a litre of water and when to use it.

water till it starts to run out the bottom,,,then let it dry almost bone dry or till it wilts...then water till it drips again.....that container is how big?

ther is your first problem resolved...scoop it out and transplant to a party cup size...with a big container ther arent enough roots to fill the space and consume the water..hence the soil stays wet....and starts to cause other issues..in a small cup it will tell U visually when it needs water...light cup (dry)...heavy cup (wet) or wilting ...really dry....move your plants successivly to larger containers as it becomes root bound...u will get better results.

ive read that its a bad idea to do transplanting with auto strains and to plant straight into 3 gal buckets as its permanent pot.. if im wrong ill do your way next plant.. but i deffintly dont wanna transplant this one i dont trust my self and will probally fack it up.. so should i be watering with alot of water and the whole pot or just a good amount of water and right around the plant (not water entire area of pot)

yeah not sure ..but you will continue to get issues in that big pot...if u scoop it out and take a large amount of dirt with the scoop around the roots(i just use my hand)..it will be fine..i dont use auto flower ..never have...also ive never seen or heard of starting in a three gallon..evan as a veteran grower i would hate to guage the amount of water to give...if u dont kno were the root mass is u cant be to specific as to how much...i would transplant ..then its a no brainer...any way , do as u will ..im out...tc

It's hard to say from this picture but leaves usually will curl up due to heat stress. Certain plants have a temp tolerance so keeping a journal is a plus. If your using a grow tent try a closed loop system or try rising the light fixture up a bit. Another way is getting exhaust and intake fans to cool the room.
