Been growing 3 different clones for about 3 weeks in happy frog soil under 1200 watt led lights. Had sum white powder mildew problems and been spraying trifecta as directed. Now I’m noticing sum of the leaves has started curling up and sum are curling down. Idk if it’s based on the wpm or my humidity( even though I purchased two different dehumidifiers) or if I’m over or under watering. Can someone please help?? I spent a lot on this set up and would hate for my first grow to be a bust.

What are temps/rh, light intensity, feed strength/ph and water regularity? Check against ideal for your setup. All or some maybe out.
PM shouldn't be an issue at that stage and looks like you're in a standard room so I'd lean more toward room condition, carpet is not ideal and be sure to clean all walls and such. Else venting and air needs improvement and will be further issue in bloom if not resolved. Where is air coming from and going to?

Have you looked at them under white not blurple lights?
I have used trifecta a lot never had problems with it being the cause. I have however turned lights on too early after spraying and damaged fan leaves in that similar look. Not with trifecta but organicide (ugh).
Cut off the severly damaged leaves. And any others that may continue to show damage. A mild calcium and magnesium treat and low nitrogen (i.e kelp) to grow new foilage would be appreciated by the plant.
Also when treating powdery mildew, the stems are an overlooked and thus not sprayed part of the plant that PM will stay hidden foiling your work.
I currently use plant doctor for PM, with wonderful success. Organic. Systemic. Not $$$. The need to fully saturate all surfaces till runoff isn't needed, so less overall volume = less time on a ladder in full term with a back pack atomizer. No odor so no smelly rooms indoors either.

What is your ventilation, air circulation in there like? You shouldn't have gotten PM on those plants so quickly, unless the conditions were perfect for it. What is your relative humidity?
I have some humidity problems I can’t seem to get it down. I’ve purchased 3 different dehumidifiers because they weren’t working good enough. I’ve also just added some moisture absorbers n a another fan. My humidity ranges from 65 to 72 but I’m trying to get it much lower

My lights r 1200 watts. I was watering every 3 days but slowed down cus I thought I could be overwatering. It’s inside my closet so not much venting I just added another fan. I haven’t started feeding them nutes yet

Yes they are normally under white lights. What nutrients would you recommend ?

Up pot....transplant into a larger pot, say a 3 or 5 gallon size.
Ok thanks. I also was going to start feeding nutes soon . I’m using happy frog soil. When I transplant should I wait a couple weeks for the nutrients in the soil to be absorbed or is it safe to start using nutes.
