Slight wrinkling on seeding leaves, any advice? When should nutes be applied?

For now we've been using 600w led light with regular incriminates of watering every time the water meter reads the soil is dry, temp stays between 65-75° and relative humidity 50-60
Little guy is 14 days from seed, im thinking the small wrinkles im seeing on those 2 leaves are minor but what is it trying to tell me??

What cultivar? Soil type? Check the ph level of runoff. Young plants are very sensitive to nutes and ph levels. Making sure ph is correct will prevent countless issues now and further down the road. A lot of those "1000w" leds are only equating to a 400w hid. My 600w hps is way brighter than my "1000w" led which pulls 190w at the wall. After I was disappointed by that light due to low yield and airy buds I went to hid setup for flower

I seen this same thing in another post, do a forum search under "wrinkling leaves"

Its a bag seed, just using potting soil the ph was 6-6.5
I made a typo.... Lol its a 600w led...excuse that please, its MarsHydro in the blurple setting. Our ph was between 5.5-6.5
Its the furthest we've gotten yet, totally newbie growers. Had a couple seedings burned and overwatered so were taking all those minor hardships and applying them foward.
Havent started any nutes whatsoever yet

Ah it's cool we're all human. Shoot for a ph of 6. Those leds are pretty good learner lights. They'll getcha started but leave ya wanting more. Outside of those 2 leaves it looks good. If there isnt drain holes in the pot add some. It looks like overwatering almost. Wait till the pot is really light before watering. Potting soil usually has some nutes in it that'll keep it going for the first month or so, with that being said wait till it's a foot tall before feeding and only lightly to make sure it doesnt burn.

This: "Our ph was between 5.5-6.5 " = wrinkled / contorted leaves. You'll need to stabilize your pH some.

The good news, is your newest, largest set of leaves look good. Now just keep an eye on her and get a handle on your pH. Good luck.

Thanks guys, as i was writing this i figured my ph was it. Im learning how to grow with my boyfriend and sometimes i can get a little behind or i just have my own questions!! As you guys know, those leaves that do have the wrinkled bits on them were the first 2 leaves to pop out (yea, i didnt realize it either til he pointed it out. Go along with it so i dont feel alone!!)
Lol, so im figuring those dont nessecarly matter as much but ill definitely apply this moving foward!! :)
