#1 looks the same as 3days ago. Their first set of leaves and new growth are light green and curving downwards. Should have bigger and next set of leave? Tested pH of purified water I used and it's a bit high at 7.0. I dimmed the light to 25% from 40. Other ideas?

Hey there Jabz, you're right to spot this as a problem. So this is due to overwatering. What happened is that humidity got trapped towards the center of the pot and water mold appeared causing root zone issues which in turn causes the droopy leaf symptom. You do need to stop overwatering, probably you can wait 2 to three days between waterings. Try the lifting pot method to never overwater again : www.youtube.com/watch . Then keep monitoring the plant, just by following a strict wet/dry cycle the plant should fully recover quickly, but if it doesnt what happens is you have to break down the problem roots with a chelation agent like humic acid or enzymes which are common cannabis products. Hope this helps ! 🚀

I made he same mistake big pot makes it easy to over water that looks like the problem as the8thchevron said below leave it for a few days or to completely dry out then start a fresh with just enough fluids to last 24 hours advice I was given and it works for big pots with small plants very well.

All the action is happening below the soil right now. Droopy leaves most likely caused by overwatering. At this stage you want her to have to work for water. It forces the plant to build a large root system. Dont worry if theres not too much going on day to day until after the second week. Get that pH down and I personally would crank the light up to 100% and move it to 26-34" above the plant. I just dont trust dimming. I would rather get my full light spectrum and just adjust the lighting.
