Primer cultivo #1

I kinda with herbaledu on this one, maybe the quality of soil your using isn't good enough.

they seem a bit stretchy: lack of light a bit light green: soil may be poor in nitrogen a tad bit smaller than what i experience with mine after 2 weeks. i wouldn't bother much about twisting as it happen pretty often when you grow large amount of plant one show similar twist as yours when all the others don't. So most prolly that's just the phenotype. So yup may be the soil. But as you can't say for sure.

Piss Ants are crawling up your pots and biting the water out for the nest or fruit gnats, not fungus gnats. If you spot them again, grab some ortho liquid and place it on the ground beside the pot and they will run to it and drink untill they all die. Good luck

Hey Ketamascience, Thoose are done by insects, i would advice you to get some spray to prefend more damage. Since your are growing outside, the chance of many insects is high. I would recommend to buy CANNA CURE, it not only prefends, it makes a biological layer and it even holds some usefull nutrients in it for the leafs. Just spray once a week and you will be fine, im doing the same thing. Goodluck growing :)
