Seedling strange leaves?

By "unfed" you mean you didn't give her nutes when you watered, but your soil had some prefertilized NPK, or 0 feed and 0 NPK in soil, like nothing at all, just pure unfertilized soil with nothing in it and an EC=0?
It's Coco. watering with just cal/mag in the water. 120ppm. I don't feed the first 2 weeks unless the seedling shows the need. That's the job of the cotyledon. Thought your post said your in coco....
What's the name of the bag mix your using?

On the bag's label it says it has NPK for the first week, I've asked other people about the mix and the ones that used it said they didn't feed for 50 days. Dunno what to believe anymore. Also, the label says it has an EC of 1.2, which as far as I know is a bit hot for a seedling, and I started to believe that is the reason for my twisted and a bit brownish leaves so early in life, but again, not 100% sure.

Oh yea, and may I know what nutrients line, including the calmag, are you using for your coco? Thanks!

If you're worried about getting the seedling's watering perfect, put it on a capillary mat or on a bed of perlite half-filled with water. I used to fuck about with trying to get the watering correct in the early stages but a nice constantly moist medium will be fine until you're ready to transplant.

Seedling looks strong and normal to me. For watering, use a shot glass or syringe and give them an ounce or so around the drip line. Don't water close to the stem when they're seedlings. As long as the seedling is green and strong, don't stress over the twisting (IMO).

This is that Pineapple Express at 10 days now. Starting to think about feeding.
My only concern up till now was my pH. Feedings Will start at around 200 ppm.
Hopefully yours has turned for the better.

Thank you for your advice!
