The JH looks strange to me and i dunt understand whats the problem and how to fix it..
the leaves are curling down and it stop to grow they are 8 days old

I'm not sure but the leafs turning down like that could be over watering. The color of the leafs make me think that maybe the light is a little close and bleaching the color from them. I'm probably all wet on this but it's just the impression I get.

Is that coco?

Are you growing in coco/perlite? If so then probably not overwatered. Try watering around the outside edge of the pot and let the coco get damp throughout, you don’t want it drying out. They just need to grow into that pot, looks a little big to start but they’ll be fine.

So there is nothing to worry about ?

Maybe pull the light away a little. All she needs is time. Is your coco enriched at all?

No, but they do look dry. Coco should be kept wet, always. And there should be nutes with every feeding. Also, coco needs extra Calmag at first...Are you using nutes and calmag?

I wouldn’t drastically change anything at this point, if your light is close you may want to raise it, what light do you have and how is it set up?

Edit: as I already mentioned and @manfredo said, do not let coco dry out, keep it moist, you won’t overwater.

There's your problem....Here's a good read for you.

A few things that I've learned about growing in coco with a drip systm DTW

Ok let me chime in with what I've learned about coco. The majority of my growing life was spent growing with organic soil, I used bio bizz nutes with compost teas and it was great, I grew in 12Ltr pots and watered every 2 days, wet-dry cycles..... Now I was happy growing like that but then I...

The light is marshydro 3000 at 50% 55cm away from plant

That seems about right, try feeding a light mix and keeping the coco damp. You can raise the light a bit if that doesn’t work in a few days but if it starts stretching at all lower it back.

Those are all just additives, if I remember correctly. More importantly, you need the base nutrients. There are much cheaper alternatives for nutrients, that are just as good, or better than AN.
