This plant as of today is now 2 weeks old. I have yet to feed it any nutrients yet. Lately it has been dropping with the leaves. It only droops when the light turns off as it is still in its vegetative state. Once the light comes back on, within an hour or so the leaves are right back up looking normal. I noticed the middle also is started to look brownish. I'm going to attach some pictures below so you guys can see what's going on with it. This is my very first grow. I'm as noob and noobies come but I'm seeking help to educate myself. The strain is a blue mystic autoflower. The last time I watered it was 4 days ago as I suspected it was a overwatering problem but I'm not sure anymore. I'm starting to feel like there are multiple problems. The edge of the leaves are also curling a bit. I moved the led grow light back up a little higher but I'm not sure if it did anything. HELP ! I know I didn't put enough information on here. I wanted to see what you guys think of the pictures first. Any additional information needed don't hesitate to ask !
Need help. Dont know whats wrong with plant.

From your description of what's causing this to happen, I'd say you've got nothing to worry about; that's normal. It's called ":torpor." Think of your plant as a machine, a machine with an engine in it. The engine runs off of light and water - light on the leaves causes the engine to suck water out of the soil and through the plant so that the plant can draw out the nutrients; when the water gets to the leaves, it evaporates (or more accurately, transpirates) from the leaf surface and into the air as water vapor.
All the time that it is doing this, the passageways in the plant through which the water travels are filled with water, which keeps the plant erect and the leaves stiff and sturdy. As the light decreases, the plant stops pulling water out of the soil, and the plant becomes soft because it no longer has enough water in it to keep it stiff. That's all you're seeing here. It's perfectly normal, and your plant looks very healthy.
So. Get a good night's sleep, because that's really all your plant is doing!

That's understandable. So what do you think about the brown marks ? its not on any of the leaves. its only in the dead center of the plant on the top.

totally normal looking plant man look over images of seedlings take a rip and start reading my man plenty to learn dont stress it
alright thanks. Also, like i said above, today makes the second week since my plant popped out of the soil. I have the fox farm trio pack for nutrients. Should I start feeding it this early or wait another week ? I've read mixed opinions about this
