so hey guys i currently have this two seedlings which i cant tell why they are like this, they look completely different, yet grown at same conditions / watering schedule.

Using red solo cups for now,mountain black soil with leaf compost, they are grown inside a growbox with about 110 watts each which is vented as it approximately 20 to 27 degrees, temps been crazy lately, i havent nutted and i was puring just a little water to keep moist for the 5 first days and then stopped to dry em up after seeing they started to get sick. since i though maybe i was overwatering but today at 7 days they arent doing any better. any ideas or suggestions?

well one of the is curling upwards and the other one down, also you can see one has already used all the cotyledones while the other is starting brown spots in the leaves, im using cfls at around 210 watts
 
Lemon,
Relax your mind dude. They are standing tall, green leaves, no tip burn. The little guys are busy growing roots so don't pester them. Just give them some nice water as needed and watch. They will teach you how to grow...if you let them.

Having said that...the soil could be a little rich for seedlings, but looks like they are handling it. Use a seed starter mix next time.

If anything your soil may be a little too hot and it looks like swamp mud with no drainage my friend, other than that they look ok.
 
use a mist bottle for watering seedlings. keep the soil for a few inches around the plant damp but not wet. GL
