Day 0: I started my winter scrog a couple of weeks earlier than planned. This run with be two Barney's Farm strains in each tent. I'm really excited to be growing these strains, they all look delicious! I will know in about 5 months!
Day 3: We have liftoff! 3/4 seeds popped!
Day 4: Sprouts are looking good, so far!
Day 5: Sprouts are hitting the top of the clear plastic cover, so I moved them into small cups with some soil with Great White powder (probably not needed since I am using Happy Frog soil for starting out) and put them in the tent to let the LED start working it's magic.
Day 6: I dug into the pellet to see if the seed was on it's way, but after a few more days, it doesn't seem to be doing anything, so I'm germinating a 4th seed. The plastic domes over the sprouts are keeping them nice and moist. I should be able to remove them in a few days.
Day 67: after watering, I am noticing the leaves curling under, but fine next morning - or at least less clawing. Does this look like over watering? Watering every other day 1/gal per 7gal fabric pot with 2/3 soil, 1/3 perlite well mixed. If not, what might cause the claws?
See how the leaves look puffy between the veins? that's a sure sign of over watering; also, it's not so much leaves curling under, as in droopy leaves, which is another sign of over watering. Perhaps you are confusing the symptoms of over watering with under watering and watering again when you shouldn't, both will have droopy leaves, but while under watering will have dried up leathery leaves, over watering will have puffy leaves. The leaves look droopy when over watering, because the roots can't take oxygen and the plant is literally drowning. Let the soil get dry, half a gallon of water per day is too much.

@@Athos,
Thank you for the response. I'm not actually watering a 1/2 gal every single day, I do let the pots dry out first. I have a metal-prong moisture meter that I test in several places and I don't water until the meter shows near dry or completely dry. I've been very careful this whole grow and this is the only plant acting this way out of 4 and they all get 1 gal per watering. (the 1/2 gal per day on the stats page was just to fill in the info) I'll drop it back to maybe 1/2-3/4 gal for this plant and see how she responds. She was looking much perkier this morning when I checked on her.
@Wildotter, 6 months? With two tents and a shelf starter setup, I harvest 4 plants every 3-4 months. Light is usually 18”, but that ends up being 15-16” by the end.
