what's with these leaves?

The one on the right...is that a sign of underwatering? Because earlier the jagged leaves on both were kind of pointing straight up, it looked kind of strange. The one on the left I think is about to shoot up another node, there's a little nub of growth in the middle of the leaf set. I just don't want to overwater them...

Can't tell jack from that picture other than they are stretched out. May want to move your light a bit closer before they fall over. If it's dry water it. If it's wet don't.
 
Look fine man id get some fan on them to strengthen those stems its happened to me I seeded in a seed box had no breeze in box and they stretched with no strength moved light about 2 feet from plant 400hps and fan on and they strengthened
 
Yeah, I was thinking about the round leaves. They're kind of dropping now, whereas earlier they were straight out. I did get a small clip fan, I'll throw that on them from a good distance.

Repot those lage lanky stems,burying most of the stem.Cotyledons shouldn't touch any soil(not like it's going to harm anything just repot leaving some space between them and the soil).Doing that will give you faster root output(which is essential).Also lower your lights.You're ok ;)
 
Done and done. Buried the Jiffy Pots into one gallon pots with a nice breeze. Still don't know where they are in terms of water, but we'll see in the morning. Right now it's their bedtime.
 
get a moist tester for the soil bud that tells me when they need watering, Lots of people on ere can tell by weight of the pot but im still learning that 1 haha
 
Why do people insist on over watering, over nuting and fancy meters?


Do a little research and Inform yourself about the wick system.... And never overwater again, without spending a dime and time going to the store for a "moisture" meter.

Then you're done getting anxious about it.Keep em there.Do not overfeed.And it does not matter if it's cold .Just don't make HUGE changes in temps.
 
Did someone say dont over feed that leaf? Good, now that thats out of the way...OP? What were you thinking? Jiffy pots? I hope your going to get those root forcefields off of them before you plant em deep. ;) they look a little tall but i wouldnt worry. Just water them as they dry out with a little bit of water so you dont drown them. Just water for now.

The round leaves are "seed leaves" aka cotyledons, and always die off as the seedling grows.

Those jiffy pots are supposed to breakdown when planted, but my experience has been that they are very slow to do so and usually cause a root bound seedling. I'd dig them up and get rid of the jiffy pot
 
Probably beacause of how they are marketed/advertised.
Cheap disposable plastic cups work fine, like the kind used at a kegger.
