I think it was partially from having the lights on too strong, fixed it the other day, may have been too late.

Thoughts?

    That tomato looks kinda thirsty to me. The leaves tend to curl inwards in an attempt to preserve moisture. Also tomatoes generally need slightly acidic soil depending on the type. Good luck and keep us updated!

      Appreciate the insight, it’s in Aeroponics and the roots don’t look rotted, but I did notice the plug is very moist near the stem, could that be an issue?

      I’m thinking it’s transpiration related, but many factors there. I am leaning more toward light intensity as some of the curled leaves are nice and crunchy, so they got toasted regardless of other issues.

      Will do, I’ve got my garden starts in soil, so it will be interesting to see the progressing comparisons.
