To tie up or leave alone?

My very first true leaves are very big and drag the tips on the ground. When I flood the table, the tips get wet. This is only day 4 of Veg. (It has 6-8 sets of leaves and lots of new ones growing in) Although there is no burn on the tips yet, I'm concerned that as the nutes increase, it will eventually burn. All of the leaves are green and perky. Do I leave it alone our try to tie it up somehow?

The system I have is a hydroponic "Garden of Ease" made by sunleaves. I Figured that since I was a so inexperienced I'd grow a bag seed. After germinated, I put it into the silica stone, filled the tub after correcting the ph and started the lights. This is a 6 gallon tub. Continuous aeration system. 3" net cups. My lighting system is a high intensity, low-hear light with an efficient Sunleaves pioneer IV bloom T 5 fixture. It has 4, 54-watt vitaLUME T 5 bloom tubes each with a 2, 900k color temperature. It measures 47 "x 15" with a depth of 2 1/4 ". All inside a Dark room with a reflective lining. (24"x 24"x 64")
I have a fan blowing it at the bottom and another blowing out the top.

I would try to tie them up, but those first set of leaves are usually not that big, so you could also just leave them alone.

I kind of noticed that from others pics. The rest seem normal sized but those first ones are ginormous! Look healthy though.
