Hi, I am new to growing this is my 3rd grow but my first time from seed. I don’t know why the first true leaves are twisting I can’t find answers anywhere online. I started by soaking seeds for 18 hours then I used the paper towel method I then planted my seeds in root riot cubes everything was fine they sprouted on Monday 10th August. I waited for roots to come out of the bottom of the cubes then I transplanted them to starter cups after I transplanted I watered them at the time I didn’t know but now I know I over watered them so I left them to dry out ive just lightly watered before I took these pics. There in coco and perlite 70/30 mix ph is fine 5.8 the coco I’m using is Atami I was told in my grow shop it already has enough food for 2weeks so I haven’t been feeding nutes they’ve been in my propagator humidity is 70/80% I opened the vents yesterday but have Ben taking lid off everyday to dry them out abit faster just don’t know why my leaves are twisting. All advice welcome guys.

I forgot to mention 8/10 of the seedlings have twisted leaves as you can see in 1st picture my white widow #3 the leaves are ok an I have another Pineapple Express seedlings that’s ok.

Might be overwatered

Not all plants are born healthy and some require culling that looks like one that is just not up to par or worth growing.

Give them more light so they stretch less trust me.

Thanks for the reply guys, yer I had my t5 to far away an they stretched I’ll have to bury the stem when I transplant. Thanks

Welcome Benbudz, I'd leave the cover off if you're still using it.

I'm with @stoneotter, take the cover off and let them dry out some
...and my 2 cents, I never use a humidity dome for seedlings, only for clones

Popping beans!!

I'd even consider letting a fan hit them to help dry out.

Help the stems to get thicker also

They got too wet especially with the dome. Some might recover but some might be stunted. If they don’t grow, probably stunted.

Should be just a few days before they perk up.
