Ok so my first grow. I have two auto gdp plants going indoors in a tent. I planted 12 days ago and both are starting to get their second set of leaves. However, the one that is a little bigger the leaves are kind of curled under. Wondering is this something normal that will straighten out over time. I’ve heard of leaves curling and looking like tacos if the temps get too hot. Just not sure if this is that or not.
Is this a sign of an issue?

Gotta let them babies dry out some
living soil and organic soil mix. Didn’t really know how much to put in being first grow but plan to kind of backfill as stems got taller than I expected.

They look good. I would stop misting them though.
I would've put a little more soil in there, but not too much, I like to have room to top dress too. What do you plan to use for nutes?
Thanks. Makes me feel a little better. I wasn’t planning any nutrients. I’ve heard using nutes with the living super soil can cause nutrient burn. I would love to hear if anyone has any experience with giving them with the super soil.

I top dress my no-till. If you keep the soil, you will have to add something extra at some point. You do plan to reuse it right?
yea was planning on reusing it.

Then decide on how you plan to supplement the nutrients when you need to. There's tons of options. I've been using a bunch of different stuff experimenting. Mostly from Build a Soil. But you can get stuff at ACE or Home Depot that will work fine too like Dr. Earth and stuff like that.
I prefer to do the dry amendments since I think it's easier. You can still just use plain water then. You have to be proactive about feeding though since organics takes awhile to breakdown.

Make sure you don’t fully saturate container medium with such a young plant. Seedling is in rooting stage , idea being it will root out to seek moisture , and expand its mass. Overwatering can bring problems .

He should keep the soil moist though if it's a living soil. It shouldn't fully dry out. I hear you though. You don't want to overwater. It's easier to do at this stage.
how much should I be watering? I feel like I can’t find a lot about how much to give seedling.

Don't overdo it, but don't let the soil completely dry out since you're trying to keep your soil alive. A mulch layer is an awesome idea. All living soils should have them. It keeps the topsoil from drying out and makes it harder for you to overwater. And you have plenty of room in those pots for mulch and still room for adding compost or fresh soil later to add more nutrients.
