First pick was around 2 weeks.This photoperiod is in week 6 since seed. I noticed while back that the leaves droop and I thought I may have been over watering. So of course I allowed it to keep drying out and the leaves actually got worse where they were than wilted. Color looks great, I'm not seeing any signs of a deficiency. This is only my second grow as the first grow went pretty bad with a mag deficiency and stunted growth. When this new seedling started to take off it did far better than before. What could be the cause of this and also the leaves seem almost ruffled to me and dry like. This pic is from today it has continually appeared this way thru every week but the growth is great. Ive had to try and tuck the fan leaves behind the under growth now since they are so large.

It could be that it's under watered? It could be that the pots to small? First i'd try to water it completly until it feels heavy, then i'd allow it to really dry out like at least 4days maybe more if the pot is too small the roots really do still circle inside the soil and it slows down absorbtion. Just my 2cents worth.

It's in a 5 gallon fabric. So that's why I was concerned with over watering. I allowed it to really dry out to the point of wilting but I do remember at the time the pot still felt like it had some weight at the bottom. I'm assuming because the roots arent that far yet that it explained the extra water in bottom. Then I watered till the catch pot was almost full so about 20% runoff. When I checked the following day the leaves had come back up but remained droopy.

Over and under watered at the same time. It can be difficult to start with such a large container. In steady of water from the center, try watering toward the edges of the container. Encourage the roots to spread out in search of moisture. Bottom watering may also be useful, encourage roots to grow down in search of moisture.
