Hi all any advice on the cause of the leaf curling welcome.Thought could be nutes to strong so lowered from (cf 18-200 to (cf 14-16) Am using a 600w hps aircooled light thats about 24 inches away but will lower over the next few days.

It probably is the heat. 75 is optimum.

good thing to hear that the tips arent browning. try throwing another oscilating fan in there with the plants get some more air movement. i had the same prob and the extra fans helped alot! also droped the temp 5-10 degrees.
good luck man update when ya can!
