Week old seedlings: Is curling if the 1st of leaves normal?

Hey guys serious newbie question… I have new seedlings planted 8/26, Are the curling of the first set of leaves normal?
I am watering with nutrient enriched water, using Bergman’s seeding booster (ratio: 1/4 tsp per 1/2 gal.)
Strains:
GSC auto flower
Bruce banner auto flower
Gorilla glue auto flower

Appreciate the advice🙏

I’ll pull up a chair right here in the front row if you dont mind the smell of skunk. I learn more when I’m high.

My bad…the curling leaves won’t be an issue. Maybe just a little too much water or getting used to the environment

I’m new to growing but I bet the experts are going to ask about your light and your watering. And what your soil is. I will tag a couple of the experts. @oldmarine.

It would also help to know what the temperatures and humidity are

@Flitme thanks for the helpful hand.

I am using Phlizon Pro 2000W LED Grow Light.
I watered about 10hrs ago, soaked through and drained.
(Water the same about every third day, keep damp)
Planted in Flora flex 40/40 plugs

Someone is welcome to correct me but to me that is more water than they need if they are week old.

Are these under any kind of dome?

What’s the medium?

Right now the seedlings are in a Flora flex 40/40 plug in an incubator with lid. Humidity 70-80%, temp 72-77F

Well that depends, i try to only give my plants 3 days worth of water at a time. However if your filling the medium with water every 3 days then yes thats definitely to much.

I’m not familiar with flora flex but im guessing it doesn’t have any food. If that the case those babies are going to be hungry

I agree, you are very likely watering them too much for this stage. They only need a few ml of water. You want to encourage the roots to grow. They won’t do so if the medium stays too wet. It will also cause them to damp off

A spray bottle with dechlorinated tap, pHed is good for newly sprouted seedlings. Three or four squirts every few days.

Wow, thanks :man_facepalming: Definitely sounds like, overwhelmingly, that I am over watering :joy: I ceased all watering…
Thanks again for all the advice :call_me_hand:

I use an eyedropper to water my seedlings. A few tablespoons right at the base.
I do this every other day for the first week or so. Then I move to about a jigger of water every other day or so for another week or so.

Another newbie question on the seedlings…
One has browning on the tips and roots are showing…should they be transplanted now???
I’m using:
-drip irrigation (Flora flex).
-With organic coco.
-Watering with nutrient filled water using Bergman’s seedling boost and then Transferring the nutrients in water to the stage 2 grow time fertilizer.
