Borat420 Added a little 19-19-19 fertilizer. It's been 4 weeks. Looks decent I guess. Added CFL today and reduced plant distance from light.

Since youre using cfl at 8 in distance that's pretty good, have you put your hand at plant level and see if it gets too hot after 15-30 seconds? If so the light needs moved. You say you reduced lamp distance...did the curl happen before or after that change? If none of this applies I'd say look into your watering ways, overwater can do a curl at this early stages. If it curled under I'd say the nutrients. Try looking into those various things, light, heat, and watering. Do each thing 1 at a time so you'll know the culprit. Best of luck, the plants at least look very green and healthy, slight curl included. Oh ps. Being in a space bucket, you'll want to be checking the heat and humidity fairly often. Those small areas tend to be affected more by temp/ humidity due to the confined space.

Hello @Borat420! That's a heat stress. Raise your lamp a little bit and it will be ok. Happy growing! πŸ‘Š

basically these ladies are fine, they're surviving but when they grow they get closer to the light and it stresses them. just inch your light slightly away for a bit, but beyond that i wouldn t change much, maybe put some zym to prevent root rot if you're nervous about that. Usually root rot doesn't happen so early on, but it depends on the wet dry cycle too... Looks healthy other than that, sometimes the new leaves look curled as they are growing out, too. Enjoy ! πŸš€

Hi @Borat420! This looks like a heat-stress, in this situation I'd try to decrease the daytime temperature a bit and/or increase the light-plant distance. I think she's reacting to the CFL you added, so raise up the light and give it a few days to adapt to her new environment, if you react quickly she should be fine. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing πŸ‘Š

Hello ! Could be heat stress due to the size of the bucket / could be roots problesm due to the soil (your seedling start slowly) / could also be extreme humidity as your bucket is small ans the heat + water creat an environment with high humidity ! But check that link out it is explained better than I would do https://www.growweedeasy.com/serrated-edges-curling-up Hope it will help you πŸ‘πŸ˜ and I'm happy to see that you did not gave up
