when you say curling up, do you mean the leaf tips, or are they cupping up around the edges? if you're running the light at 50% (500 watts), i would bring the light back down. maybe 24" or so. being rootbound shouldn't affect them (as you can see from my most recent transplants haha). environment seems to be on point... so i'm not really sure? if you want to post a picture of it feel free.Everything is looking great in here, love the Brainwreck. Mind if I pick your brain a bit? I have my plants up and running, sprouted in party cups(Fox Farm Soil) for a little longer than I wanted waiting on smart pots to come in. When I transplanted them into the new soil/pots I noticed they were a little root bound bit not bad, at the same time as transplant I moved them under a CMH 1000 watt running at 75% and 40" above the tallest plant. The leaves curled upwards, thought it was transplant shock so I let it go for a couple days then raised the light a little farther and dropped it to 50% today as they haven't improved. Ran out of space in my tent so I left a couple under the florescent light until my next setup is ready, those are looking amazing. Any idea what could be up? Temps range from 72-76 humidity 38-45, 24 hour light.

that's cool though man, good job. that must have been quite the work load!Double Majored in American Studies and Business Management. But am doing nothing with my degrees currently.
bet it's nice to be done though... i can't wait to wrap this up. haven't decided if i'm going to go to grad school or not. kinda want to get out and get some experience and figure out exactly what i'd want to go for.Thanks. Wasn’t too crazy, except for my thesis paper/dissertation. Wish I would have spent more time on the ag campus though.
soil looks extremely dry. get a mulch on that! straw is cheap and effective. 1" layer works great! they almost look underwatered to me. while you want to keep the whole pot at a good moisture, you also want to be sure to replenish the original root ball once in a while too, as that's where they're going to remove moisture first. leaf cupping could be due to not enough water, they're trying to minimize photosynthetic rates. any thoughts on that? what's your watering schedule like?These are in my house closet, much better shape than the others in tents in the shop.View attachment 4267478 These are the worst looking, in CMH tent. All show slight cupping of the leaves but severe discoloration.
Bottom picture is the harshest curling.

Well I am glad you said that, went and checked the ones showing bad signs of curling and they were about bone dry. I have them set up in the SWICK method, ran about 4-5 waterings over the top then was just replenishing the reservoir as it seemed to take. Gave em all a good water tonight, hopefully that is the cupping issue. As for as mulching had planned on letting them get settled in throw a castings/compost mixture with some bokashi and then cover with plastic.soil looks extremely dry. get a mulch on that! straw is cheap and effective. 1" layer works great! they almost look underwatered to me. while you want to keep the whole pot at a good moisture, you also want to be sure to replenish the original root ball once in a while too, as that's where they're going to remove moisture first. leaf cupping could be due to not enough water, they're trying to minimize photosynthetic rates. any thoughts on that? what's your watering schedule like?
ok there's a starting place. you should just loosely put the plastic over it for now anyway. it'll make a huge difference. or if you have some other plastic you can cut to the circumference of the pots.Well I am glad you said that, went and checked the ones showing bad signs of curling and they were about bone dry.
