Leaves are curling up roughly 48 hours after transplanting into 5 gal fabric bag containing different soil then the seedling starter I started out with. Soil is mostly fox farm ocean - 3 cups perlite and 3 cups seedling starter i’ve only watered twice now. 30 hours apart

Leaves curling up like that indicate things are a little too hot for them so the fact you raised your lights is a good thing and she ought to calm down now - although the leaves look like they turned a bit crispy? If they did, they won't repair themselves but the new growth - which might take a bit longer to emerge due to the shock of the transplant - won't look like this. The new soil may also be a little too "hot" (nute wise) and so this may also have been a shock to her... She's pretty young to have been transplanted which tells me the pot your had her in, if the roots were coming out from it, was pretty small.... there's no reason why you can't start seeds off in a 5-gallon - in fact, if you were growing an autoflower, that's what you should have done as they really hate being transplanted no matter what... so next time, you can just skip that step and germinate in the larger pot. Give her time, make sure she's got good humidity and that the lights aren't too close and have some patience. It might take her several days to recover but I think she'll be ok if you don't overreact and overwater her (overwatering is not how much water you give her but the state of being constantly wet). And just one more thing - I don't see the pH information in your diary so make sure you monitor that and keep it between 6.0 and 6.5. Good luck!
