Help, seedling leaves curling down and spread out

Soil looks muddy and too wet. Do you have drain holes in cup? Let them dry out in between waterings. They are sensitive at this stage. When you repot use 20% perlite to help keep soil draining. If the soil is damp then don't water.

It just got a misting, it was dry thats why it looks wet.

Lessening the light may help but it looked like too much water to me as well.

I would unscrew one bulb and don't water for awhile and see what happens. Once established screw the other light back in. IMO.

Thanks for the replies, I unscrewed one and wont water it for a while. You dont think this is terminal do you?

Itll bounce right back but yeah it does look like its drowning or the temps are a little too high

Get some perlite for your transplant.

it may be suffocating with that water and no drainage yeah get perlite

It has perlite. I turned off two bulbs and shes back to normal. It was heat.

doubt it. heat stress doesn't cause drooping. over/under watering does that. just trying to help you out.

i use 6 bulbs over my seedlings i doubt it was heat unless you had it in an airtight box with no ventilation

Just wondering what s the medium? Looks like you scrapped the shit under the backyard bbq and used that.

what do you mean by misting? you need to water proply so water will get to the roots dont just make the top layer wet

i think your roots are dying on that thing i believe its done for

it was the light shes doing fine

I can not believe that two 23 watt bulbs could be too much light. My guess is your soil is not draining correctly, and/or over watering

Honestly, it is not looking fine as it still looks like shit. It has that over nute look as well as over watering.
BTW: scrap the tin foil, absolute no-no.

Sorry that I misunderstood the lighting arrangement. Wow, 800 watts is allot of CFL's, have you considered going with HPS?

Yeah, it does have a bit of an over nute look, when/what kind/how much nutes have you used?
Chances are the FF soil has built in nutes, so you may be best not to slam it with more nutes

you have 800 actual watts of cfls on it ?
