Hey everyone! Working on my second start to tent growing. Lost 5 plants my first time growing as I believe I used soil that didn’t allow for proper draining. Getting dropping on my new start though. I use LED lights and they’re currently 22 inches above. I also light for 16 hours a day. Feel free to help with any advice.

I'm still a newbie, but give us some more info. Just by looking at that pic, I would say you need to up pot, then sort out nutrients and watering

Noted. Thank you! As a newb too I’m not exactly what info will be helpful but I’ll try my best.

EvoSun 4000 LED lights
22 inches above
Light 16 on and 8 off
Temp in tent stays around 76-77 degrees
Fan on at all times
I water depending on how the soil looks. If dry and spectated from the cup then I water. Usually 3-4 days apart.

I don’t add any nutrients. Just regular tap water in Iowa.

Evosun 4000 led 22 inches away gives us some info but could do better, do you know what ppfd you are at? There is an app on Google play called photone, you can use your phone as a meter with selfie camera, it's free and would give more detail, that could be helpful.

76-77° is a very low range, mine usually fluctuates between 70-80° are you controlling the environment that closely where that is the correct range? Cold nights or hot days temp range could be helpful as your numbers and description of environment seem very good. Did you transplant recently?

Looks okay I'm just trying to figure out why the leaves are curling up like that, your watering habits seem good don't think it's over watering, might be under watering, I see they in a clear cup, what's the roots looking like?

I am fairly new also, my guess would be either the soil has too many nutes, or you are under watering. I could be way off and hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in.

I don’t know my ppfd. I will check that after work today. I appreciate you letting me know about the app!

I’ll grab a pic of the roots when I get home. They seemed kind of lazy which had me thinking overwatering but the soil looks very dry when I water and it’s separated from the cup.

With over watering, leaves usually go yellow the green on the new top growth looks good color, good evenness, doesn't look like over watering to me, but again remember I am fairly new and not very good at diginoses plants, one thing I do know is the more info you can give will allow the more knowledgeable people in here to give you better advice/ suggestions/ ideas.

How old is that plant?

It looks like the upper leaves are not expanding, which could be from humidity being too low or a root problem.
