Could this leaf curling be from over-feeding MC?

Could this leaf curling be from over-feeding MC?
I've never seen curling edges from nutes. Light or heat stress would be my first guess. And you can have light stress without heat as well.

Thanks, it must be the lights, I'll raise them again. Is wet feet a possibility? I've never grown in a plastic pot before, only fabric, but it seems to be draining well.
The wrinkling could be wet feet. If it's a plastic pot is there a hole in the bottom you can get your finger into to see how damp it is?

What’s your humidity?

There is...but I just fed her this morning so she's kinda wet anyway.
I'm going with lights as the problem as this veg tent setup is new as is my lux meter. Raised the light about a foot.
This is a good set of guidelines, but your plant will tell you when it's feeling stressed:

Among pH testers, loupes, and refractometers, lux meters are a useful tool cannabis growers can harness to ensure optimal plant productivity and health.

Humidity is about 45%. Not as high as I'd like but reasonable i think.
That is down at the low end for veg. But let's see how they respond to lower lux.

Oh dang! I'm going to have to figure this out as this will be the permanent veg tent. Guess a little humidifier is in order.

I run A dehumidifier all summer and a humidifier all winter. I don’t get in between. It’s one extreme to the other.
Welcome to the club!
In summer air conditioning and my dehumidifier keeps it below 50% and in winter my homemade humidifier keeps it above 30% and I find in that range plants do fine at all stages.

I need to start shopping for soil or a non hydro base for the next run of Autos. Even willing to mix bags. What would you buy to run with the MC?

I'm mixing bags. I'm taking the astonishing amount of soil that was not utilized by roots in this last grow and FFOF. This was only after seeking advice from Emily . My MC arrives tomorrow.
I prefer Pro Mix or my Faux Mix (link in signature) if we're casting votes. Others have used Fox Farms Ocean Forest, coco coir, and even Miracle Grow Organic with good results.

that depends totally on your growing style... there are no right or wrong answers here.
I like to be able to walk away from my grow for days at a time... I do still have a life after all. For this primary reason, I love soil.

I won't be growing until next spring. My plan is to just use some basic potting soil/top soil from my local hardware store. A 2/3 cubic foot bag is any where from $1.49 - $3.29. The top soil has three ingredients: aged forest products, sphagnum peat moss and not more than 10% sand. I will probably mix in some earthworm castings and some extra perlite. I can't see spending big bucks on Fox Farms or other soils while using MC. Others may disagree.

I think you have an excellent plan and I would stick with exactly that. Our plants like 20% perlite. I also highly recommend Vulx.
