I need help, and advice. I planted 7 total, all sprouted. This is my 1st grow so I'm learning. Soil is a good organic no nutrients, with peat moss mixed in. I'm having a hard time judging the amount of water needed. 5 are in 5 gallon fabric and 2 In plastic pots. Please any advice would be greatly appreciated. My nutrients should be here today. There are a couple plants that are doing some wierd up turning with the leaves, and I feel like for 2 weeks there small. But I'm not sure. HELP!

Looks like a standard over watering issue, my friend. Medium is saturated by the looks of the picture and the seedling symptoms are screaming "No oxygen". With any of the girls showing these symptoms, I would back off watering heavily and localize anything you give 1-2 inches away from the stem. With your water saturated soil, you can gently till the area around the seedling to get aeration to the soil and help disperse all that extra moisture (Top 2-3 inches). If you mix in perlite or the like along with the tilling, this will expedite the process and the moisture will dissipate faster. If push comes to shove and water retention issues continue, consider moving the girls in the plastic pots into fabric, as well. I'm personally done with plastic as I had constant issues with soil-water retention regardless of how much I conditioned my soil. Fabric is the way to go, and if you make the move now it'll save you some stress in future. Trust me.... (Or air-pots. Also higher aeration but fabric is cheaper). Anywho, good luck. Everything will be okay and I hope you know that👍. This happens and isn't the end for them. Keeping it in this saturated state will eventually kill her off though... Couple tweaks and some conditioning and all will be well. Cheers and happy trails.

0.5 lt water for now,increase the amount as it gets bigger.when roots establish better in the soil,you can increase the amount.and let the pot dry out a bit before watering again.you were obviously waterin too frequently in that small pot,little roots couldnt get much oxygen and it looked droopy and pale.transplanting was a good idea

I agree with Jinks - looks like overwatering. When this small in a big container you must be careful only to water just at the plant a few tablespoons a day until it get bigger.
