Leaves folding upward - Like a taco shell

I’ve had the clone for a week now. It’s finally starting to take off a little, but I’m noticing the new growth leaves are folding inwards. I just moved from a solo cup to this 1 gallon fabric pot. It was doing it before I moved it. Temps are mid 70s. Using a Mars Hydro 1000 at about 30” above with probably half power. Plant is also off to the side some, not straight under light. Humidity is 60-80% depending on the humidifier cutting on and off. Average probably 70%. The medium is def on the moist side, but the cup it came from was at a good level.

Just a FYI.. the purple stem was like that when I received the clone. I THINK it’s genetic.
The picture makes plant look lighter than it is, but the new growth is def lighter green than the older fan leaves.

The medium is an Ocean Forest / Coco /Perlite mix. No nutrients have been added since OF has enough.

Could this actually be ok? I’ve only done 4 other grows, and from seed. Didn’t see this before.
This is Ice Cream Cake strain.

I don't think it's folding inwards so much as "in the process of fanning out." New growth is curled like that normally. At least, it was with my last plant.

However, if you actually witnessed leaves curling back in on themselves, then your light is probably too close or too bright.

I spoke with someone today who is growing the same strain from same mother plant, and he said his did the same at first. Nothing to worry about he said. Just the way it grows.
So that makes me feel better at least.
