Seedlings leaves are deformed. Why?

Would too much calmag do that? The past 2 waterings i put in calmag at 1/4 strength.

They look a little young to be receiving nutes. Idk if that caused a burn and mutated your leaf. I guess it’s possible. Are any of the others showing any signs of damage? Are you using miracle grow organic soil? Most soils can get you almost a month without a real need for nutes. Maybe a little calmag towards the end of first month. I think I saw something that stated a rule of thumb is to let it get to about the 3rd/4th node before using nutes. New to this myself so I can’t give expert advice. Just can share research and articles I’ve came across.

Seedlings are sensitive to fertilizers, they’re too small to juggle and handle what’s being thrown at them. They’ll come out of it, but it’s better to feed them when they’re ready and not so young. An old plant is harder to damage from toxicity than a younger plant, the younger the plant the easier it it is to stunt or shock it (pick any adversary).

Looks like a hint of nutrient burn. As she grows she will develop fine. Humidome will help. Don’t over water, let that dry out for a few days before watering again. The dome will help keep the moisture in also. @Banksmoney6485 other than that things look good.

All good advice but I would suggest you just keep on doing what you are. I don’t see anything wrong with your setup and I believe they will sort themselves out. Wrinkled leaves on sprouts is pretty common. Other structural defects maybe an older seed? Who knows?

I wouldn’t worry too much about leaves right now. If they continue to show progressing damage like that, let us know.

Wow you guys re the best. All great info. I do believe the seeds are at least 2-3 years old. I kept them in a bag that was in a pill bottle. Lol. Ill stop the nuts an give them plain ph water. Keep a eye on them an hopefully they will grow out of it. Thank you all for the help. I feel alot better now. Lol. Ill keep posting pics and stuff, showing the progress. Thank you again.
