I think theres a problem

[imfree]

im doing my first grow and today i wake up and i notice my leaves are curling up. is this normal?

 

[bongwaterbob]

the leaves are opening no problem when curled up. drooping down can be a problem

 

[Cultivator]

Thanks guys first time grower just making sure

Hmm maybe it is normal.. it just was like that before i went to bed. Only thing that change was my grow box. Bigger space more light

Make sure the lights are not too close and its not too hot in there. This can cause curling of leaves, but that looks ffine to me.

this can be a symptom of hot and dry...but its very common for seedlings to have minor reactions to the eviroment, even when its 'perfect'. just make sure you water the soil well, then let it drain very well. when i germ in solo cups, i only water on the day i plant them, my soil just pours out like dry sand the day i transplant, doesnt harm the plants and helps avoid damping off (a bacteria that likes to hover just above damp soil and kills your seeds fast!)

if a person encounters a lot of damping of, sieve some of your soil to a powder and make sure its bone dry, then when you water the seedling, sprinkle this soil powder on top to creat a dry surface...this also help to trick fungus gnats to look for somewhere more moist too =)


anyways, just make sure your not cooking it with your light too

sorry for the ramble, multiple thoughts had a car crash in my head

its all good buddy!! thanks. i moved it about 5in away yesterday and today i feel it looks worse. its starting to droop but still growing.. i dont water to much maybe every other day. with new box the temp gets up there bout 90f thats the only thing that has change since the other box

im not quite sure about your pot size and airation and whatnot, but for me in a pot that size i would drown it with water every cm of soil saturated, then leave it for 3,4 maybe even 5 days or longer till i water again.
