Plant leaves curling up

ok i have a 9 day old plant and scince a couple days ago the very first two leafs that form on it are curling up from the sides they are not dry or crunchy yet and they are still green anyone know if this is normal?

i dont have access to a camera right now but i gave u a pretty detailed description u know the first 2 leaves that the plant forms after popping the soil my plant is 9 days old and about 2 days a go those leaves starting curling up from the sides but they are still healthy looking and not dry i am asking if this is normal for this to happen to these leaves?

Im having that same exact problem and mines about 10-12 days old right now. I have it under 100 watt flc light and water every 2-3 days. Not sure why there starting to do that. Hopefully we will get an answer. Maybe im not watering enough or maybe there isn't enough air circulation.


EDIT: I added a photo of a plant thats a bit older and has more dmg. The picture isnt of my plant but the leaves are curling like the leaves in the picture just my leaves are still a very healthy looking green.

Do you mean the cotlydons?...the very first rounded leaves?...if so then yes this is normal.

no not the round ones the real leaves

There's definatly something wrong. we need to see pics of YOUR plant to asses it better. Have you been feeding it?...if so it could be overfeeding thus flush you plants. If you haven't been feeding them that could be it as well.

i am thinking it might be a heat issue from the light being too close because it started doing it after i lowered my light too maybe there getting sun burnt and no it is 10 days old not feeding it nutes yet

Is it a true 100W cfl?

no cfl's involved 400 watt mh

Mine do that sometimes also. I tracked it down to low humidity and the lights being too low.

yea i just put my humidifier infron of my inlet fan should bring the humidity up a little definetly looked like a heat issue but i could be wrong we will see

Hasty you have a verry typical symptom... Cupping leaves... Search for it and you will see lots of posts... I am not sure of the cause but i have seen several posts on cupping leaves...

Also by the color of your leaves you look to have a deficiency or ph/salt lockout problem...

@grand

It is just so hard to interpret peoples descriptions of plant behavior... It is too easy to think you are describing one thing when in fact something else might be going on you are not seeing or not describing...

Pics speak a thousand words... I know you do not have a cam... That sux... =[

If you leaves look like hasty and they are making little cups with the leaves there is a very definite problem and solution although i don remember what it is right now... Heat... ?? Search for it... Cupping... =]

Good luck... =]

As far as the guy with the pic...your burning your babies.... I did that with mine just yesterday thinking the cfl wouldnt burn it, but it was like putting my babies right next to the sun as i got 2 bad ass lights..You see the green in the dark middle of the leaves as the outer ones look a lighter green, they are burnt i think it shows up better under those lights...so back the light up a bit, they will be fine...

As far as the guy who posted this, im not sure you dont have a pic...???
But it could be watering to much, or not enough...I don think its light because my leaves didnt curl when they burned, just turned crispy and majorly drooped...
