Yah man, its a common sign of overwatering. Do you have good drainage? How much have you been watering? Best way to check water-level is to push your finger about an 1" down. If its dry that deep its time to water.

Oooh, yeah, I did that, too! They're very hard to accurately water in those little flats because they seem to dry out so quickly, but I learned that it's much better to under-water than it is to over-water!

They will also do that if the light is too close. Seedlings don't need that much light.

Also a very good suggestion, but he says he has CFLs and, from what I've read, you can safely place the plants an inch underneath them without repercussions!

This is not true for seedlings. You can still put a CFL too close to a seedling. A larger plant, yeah you can have them as close as your temps allow... even touching. But not a seedling. I have a light meter. From less than an Inch away a CFL reads the same as bright sunshine. After that the light diminishes quickly. Depending on the size of your CFL 3 -6 inches for seedlings.

It looks over watered but I would def move the light up if you are using a CFL make sure its not to close. FFOF really isn't suppose to be used for babies it is to strong! I think its warrior that is best for seedlings. I would check the ph!

RIGHT..

this is a common worry among new growers and 2nd timers, once you know the basics its pretty easy,

your leafs will turn down when you water them ( usually a fwe hours after i water mine they droop like yours) its fairly normal. after they drunk some of that water they will perk back up by the next day,

try not to over water them tho,

i usualy wait till my rockwool cubes are light as a feather b4 re-watering,

not only does this help against over watering , but it also makes sure i dont give them too many nutes an create nute lock( which can ruin yout grow scedule and freeze the plants growing progress

( stall your plants like a car or motorcycle stalls when you flood the engine with petrol)



other then the watering causing this....

your light can be too close to the plants and they are trying too cool themselfs down.

just move the light up a few inches (EDIT) I USE A 460W CFL GROW LIGHT MADE OF 23 CFLS IN A HOME MADE REFLECTOR)
thats alot of power for babies, just back of the light a bit

and make sure you give your plants a nice breeze too cool them an keep the air circulating)

among what i have said there are more other reasons why your plants can be doing this,

but first pay attention to what i have wrote,

and see if it helps over the next few days

ill draw upa chair an keep watching in on this one
