Girl Scout Cookies from Fast Buds - 9 Days old - Leaf curling issue

Hey Guys, first-time poster but I'm on my third grow.

This little baby is 9 days old, and since day 4 she's been showing some leaf curling but it really hasn't stopped her from growing. I have 5 other plants and she's the biggest one, so what I'm trying to figure is if I should worry about her.

I know that some seedlings behave strangely sometimes but I've never experienced anything like this and I hope someone can shed some light about this issue.

I'm using a Viparspectra 600W LED and a 250W HPS Dual-Spectrum Light (both aprox. 60cm from the plants). I planted the GSC in a light soil mix + 30% extra perlite + 15% worm castings), the soil is very airy and I doubt this to be a root problem (but I'm no expert by any means). RH has been steady at 60% and temps at 25-27C.

I watered her two days ago with ph'd water + Voodoo Juice + Tarantula + Piranha + 1/4 Bud Candy to feed the bacteria and today I've been seeing a nice growth spurt!

So, what's the deal with this baby? Is she just quirky or sick?

Thank you so much for all your input and have a great weekend guys!

First of all, nice progress for day 9. She has been working hard and by the looks of it she is feeling quite hot and since her rootsystem is not built enough she has trouble having enough moisture to those leaves and naturally curls as trying to trap any water to those "cups". Perhaps just too hot and IR radiation heat from the HPS. Try to back off with the lights and heat and/or raise the humidity a bit for her. She will be fine and after a while she can manage that heat better too.

Good stuff

Hey @MedGrower , thank you so much for your help! I followed your advice and now both lights are about 75cm from the plants and misted the soil to up the RH a little bit more. I also misted the plants from far away (it's a very fine mister so no drops of water on the leaves).

The other plants are doing just fine and two of them (a Hindu Kush and an Amnesia) are almost has big has the GSC. I think the Voodoo Juice Combo has really gave them a nice boost!

Once again, thank you very much! Happy growings!

Yeah careful with the misting of the leaves with that much of light LOL I always manage to just burn my leafs if I try to mist them since I get droplets always that just focus the light. These days I just hang up some laundry to the same room to bring the RH up

@MedGrower Yes, I only mist them like this because it's really a very fine mist. I checked all the leaves and saw no droplets but next time I'll probably try to do the laundry method! Also, the GSC is in the far left of the grow so she only gets the light from the LED. Hope she feels better in the next couple of days!
