i'm going to try to attach a couple of pictures. my seedlings seem to be doing good and i can see new leaves forming but my big leaves are curling downward. is this a sign of something wrong?

sorry, i was hoping i could put all this in one post but i'm new and don't know what i'm doing. anyway, as you can see from the pictures some of my leaves are curling downward. and you might be able to see my lone lowryder2 seedling and it's NOT curling downward. any suggestions or comments? i thought the leaves should always be pretty much straight or else there is a problem. i'm using CFls. do you think i had them too close? maybe things got to hot? thanks!

sometimes that kind of stuff happens... its wierd, how close do you have the CFL and what's the wattage on it?

Well they don't look nute deprived. try checking the ph. Also they kinda look like they are over watered.

i have about 300+ real watts of cfls. they are all roughly about 3 or 4" from the plants. i could certainly be overwatering.

wow i have a 105w cfl with the sunsystems bright wing and i only keeps that 3-4 inches above the plants... possibly overwatering is your problem though

those leaves dont look as if they have heat strees so it aint the lighting my leaves did the same just watch how much you are watering and you should be fine this is probably due to overwatering

thanks everybody! i think i'm overwatering. i will cut back. as far as my lighting i have a shitload of 25 watt cfls, mostly 6500k and a few 2700k. i also bought a couple 6500k 85 watters. most of them are hanging vertically. all my lights are no less than 6" from my plants.
