Twisted leaves.

My first set of fan leaves got a decent size (for seedling anyways) but then I woke up this morning and they looked twisted. Almost like there is a DIAGONAL crease dead center in each leaf. with the result of the crease being more upward pointing leaves. Any idea whats going on?

I had this problem as well with a 1.5 week old plant. the leaves were badly twisted. So i gave it a feeding, which should have been very small but.........Needless to say some extensive nute burn. I transplanted to a DWC system and all growth after wards all growth was normal even though the nutes burned it, i think the lighter nutes in the dwc held. I would say its lights to close but you have no pics, how far away are they?
also this could be a Nute deff., and the plant need a LIGHT feeding, which would mean the soil u are using may not have enough nutrients to support a seedling which is clear sign of cheap soil or a nute hungry or a delicate strain of herb

Here are pics of the plant i describes, is yours similar? The top and side pic is of the plant before the nute feeding, the last is afer i tranplanted to DWC, I noticed much less twisting and no twisting in new growth.

it shouldn't be a nute problem with it being a seedling...there is enough provided in the seed itself for it to survive....the lights are probably the problem..some say the plant "gets a hard on for the light"..which in my experience it needs more of a certain spectrum of light...i had 2 42watt soft white cfls and a 15 watt day light bulb..and the thing twisted and "got a hard on" for the day light bulb...so i got rid of the 42 watts and got more day lights and it grew twice the size in a week under those bulbs

it is perfectly surrounded by 4 23w CFL Bulbs that are each about 2-3 inches away from the plant, angled 45* so they are mostly recieving light from the horizontal side of the bulb

well it hard to day. If its not the soil. Its not the nutes. Its not over watering. Its not the lights. either heat, humidity, or rootbound (UNLIKELY AT SEEDLING), or Ph. If all those are within specs you may just have a mutant plant. Just like animals in nature some times have mutants like albinos and four-assed-monkeys. lol. Marijuana can sometimes have an anomoly. Or it could just grow out of it like my plant did, although i opted to give mine nutes. You have chosen not to, right?

Oh and no its not twisted like that, Its less curled and more like a single diag crease in the center of each leaf

That diagonol line is a crease in each leaf with the labeled side angled upwad
