Leaves curling up - no discoloration

hey hey. this is my first (and a half) grow :]

I am having a problem(?) with 2 of 4 of my babies. They are 9-10 days old.
I'm growing in soil (foxfarm) with CFLs. The lights are about 3-4 inches away. Temperatures haven't reached above 80 or below 75. humidity is usually ~30-40%. not using nutes yet. I've been watering every 48-60 hours or so.

I'm thinking it is a symptom of a burn, but no discoloration made me debate. i moved the lights a little further away to make sure. i'm fairly sure i'm not underwatering either.

I could be totally wrong. haha. which is why i'm here!
It doesn't seem like much of an issue yet, just would like to avoid a potential big problem! some short sweet advice would be amazing. thanks!

(the picture is the worst of the two)

Bro, it's nothing. It's not "normal" for a plants first set of "true leaves" to be a little fucked up, BUT it is very "common". Happens all the time. Just keep doin' what you've been doin' and they should be fine. Two things, DON'T feed them for at least the first three weeks. Second, only water when the dirt gets dry. There is no set schedule for watering babies. Stick your finger into the ground up to your second knuckle,if the ground is still moist down there leave it alone. You want the dirt to dry out so the plants roots go searching for water. BIG roots = BIG buds.

^ good point. hadn't thought about that much.

thanks for the reassurance/advice :]

No problem bro, that's what we're here for...to help.

mine did the same thing. i moved them into bigger pots and moved the light from about 3-4 in to about 5 1/2 in.

It's amazing how close my plants looked to the picture above a few days ago. I had this same issue and wondered what it might be and thankfully now know it's not an issue. The thing is mine have continued to grow significantly despite the gnarly looking leaves which only continues to validate the claim that some plants just get a weird first set of leaves. Anyhow, good luck with the grow man.

Perfect advice.....

Yeah. It was nothing. :] seems to be growing fine

Just noticed they are White Widow. Are these from Greenhouse seeds by chance? All of my fem'd seeds of this strain did this exact thing. Meanwhile my Mazar-i-Sharif seeds, grown under the same conditions, didn't. I'm starting to think it's genetic.
