New grower here

This is my first post here although I’ve been lurking and searching a lot. A little about my grow. I’m growing BlackBerry Kush Auto in soil (hp promix) mixed with some EWC. I have two girls in 3 gallon fabric pots. My rent is a crunch 2x2x4 being lit by an hlg 100r and ac infinity t4 fan/filter combo (added yesterday). I planted seed directly to soil and they both germinated and broke soil in less than 2 days. I alternate with cut water bottle bottoms as a dome because I wasn’t sure if I should use them or not. When I installed my t4 I realized that my humidity was sitting at high 30s/ low 40s. I added a humidifier (Vicks brand) this morning to increase RH and it’s up to a steady 55% range. I also took off the bottles as the plants were touching the sides. Please give any advice and I hope this grows well.
I’m attaching some pics from seed to where they are today and showing the light height.

It helps to know the dates. The first pic is day 1 in soil (2/8)

Pics 2&3 are 02/09

pics 4&5 are from 2/13

Pics 5&7 are from yesterday 2/15

Pic 6 is too slow the hanging height.

I took the humidifier out of the text this morning after reading that it was the incorrect type. Guess what?! The temp dropped to 80, humidity is at 58.x and vpd is 1.4x!!!! I’ll either water before I leave for work or later tonight. Trying to let the soil dry out a good bit.

Also light cycle started at 18/6 for the first couple of days then changed to 24/0. Plan to likely keep this light cycle throughout since my light isn’t heavy on power. Am I on the right track?

Can someone help? On one of my girls the leaves are bowing but the other is perfectly fine. I did lower the light and this morning realized that it was off center which made the plant of concern getting around 150 ppfd and 75ish for the other. I adjusted the placement in the tent so that both are at just a hair over 100 ppfd. Is this the right move? I’m attaching pics of both from the top and side.

These girls are 12 days old as well. I’m enjoying this so far!

I was thinking the same thing as @Nope_49595933949 , who is a much more experienced grower than I am. After two weeks, the roots are spreading too, and they need more moisture than just around the base now. Soil looks pretty dry, which is fine, especially if there’s some moisture deeper in the pot, but worth considering. It’s easy to overwater, but you don’t want to err too far in the other direction either.

Have you tried a container of water with a towel hanging half in the water half out of the water?

I’ll try this today. Thanks.
Are we talking like a large bowl and the end of the towel hanging over onto the floor of the tent?

i really hope that wasn’t a dumb question lol
