Leaf curving (pics)

Kinda paranoid about this, any advice on how to correct it?

ffof soil
no nutes yet
10th day in veg
added table spoon of lime per gallon of dirt
3 gallon container
400mh

I've been reading it could be a phosphorus problem, if you've dealt with this before please tell me how to correct it.

Don't worrie about leaves on such a young seedling,the older the plant get's this will grow out.Some seeds often do this but has long has the leaves have good colour and it is not yellowing then it will be fine.Sometimes too much is put into how a plant looks we are not growing a plant to look nice we want it to produce alot of good grade a bud.The only time to worrie is if a plants edges curl up and the plant has burnt tips called canoeing,this can be caused through heat,i would check your temps though.....tyke...

no, DO worry about them this guy above is crazy.

this is early signs of ph being off.

first off if you put seed straight into the ffof it may be just from that but chances are its from hi ph. just simply water with 6.0 plain water.

Yes, they were put straight into ffof from germ, I'm getting mixed reviews here.... My ph out of the tap (filtered) is 6.8... I can't really do a run off test because the meter I'm using reads by color so clear water is needed. Wouldn't be accurate, but thanks for the replies.

I guess I'll just ride it out

just lower your ph to 6.0 like rzza said. I use ffof with 6.0 and they do great every time. yo and tyke, when leaves curl like that its the plant telling you its stressed out. Thats how the plant tells you what it needs. Good thing there are some peeps on here that have some good advice respect and rep rzza

don't listen to these phrs, there's no way the soil would go out of wack in ten days, 'speacially with limestone already added.
If FF is that fucked up to start with you might want to try Pro Mix next time.

Mine did the same thing with the same soil the same method you used No worries. Mine is oing great 7 weeks in. Don't feed until week 3 then work your way up from 1/2 strength nutes.

rzza is right. ph twisting.

nobody said the soil is 'out of wack' im suggesting the water they have been drinking is improper levels. hes saying its 6.8 out of the tap but he reads colors so it cant be accurate. its prob more like 7.5. the filtering wont change it unless your using RO. do them a favor and make the color more yellow than green

frmrboi do some homework and stop giving advise, your not good at it.

Some plants do have the twisted leaf syndrome when they're young and it could also be an early sign of ph being off. Both are good advice. Just keep an eye out on the new set of leaves and watch the ph.

PH is so important. You could use a little vinegar to lower the PH a tad......if you don't have any PH down on hand.

What nutes are you using? me = grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, cha ching, beasty bloomz, open sesame.... Maybe that's over kill? Or maybe I was just paranoid.

I feel compelled to listen to some black sabbath now.

That's good to know, how much vinegar per gallon? I need this info for my memoirs.

haha yes it looks fine nothing to worry bout

those plants will be ok. Like many here say, adjust your ph. Do this through the entire grow, every single time you water. I promise you'll be happy you did. You can either get a ph meter or use a test kit. If on a budget, the test kits can be found on amazon.com for $17 and come with ph up and down solutions.

Hope this helps!
