4 day old seedling leaves turning awkward ways

This is about my 5 th grow and out of every 4 or 5 plants I get 1 that just turns all weird looking and stops growing in the first week or so.
I have 4 bubleiius auto fems from nirvana. Day 4 and one is starting to look bad and the other 3 look like the bad one did a few days ago.
Im using fox farm happy frog, distilled water to keep ph in check. T5 lights... Just wonder if too much nutes in soil? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Just breathe and let em grow. Possibly add some more soil to the top of each cup to surround that stretched stem. Look like happy green plants bro.

When a seedling emerges it's primary focus is on root development. Most times the tiny sprouts are in less than optimal environments. Meaning the Relative Humidity is lower than 70-80% which creates an increased need for the plant to shed water through it's leaves. Keeping in mind the seedlings root system is not large enough to supply this demand on hydration, so the seedling wrinkle and get wavy leaves. Nothing to worry about unless leaves are curving and twisting, but then some form of noticeable chlorosis or spots will be present. The roots will catch up and foliage will increase and normal out. Keep in mind that what ever size and condition your plant is above ground Is a direct reflection of the health and mass of the roots system.

Thought I would keep up progress 10 days old

why not? First 4 grows I used ffof Thought it was stunting them a little because of nuets. So I'm using happy frog this time and seems to be fine. Next grow will start with fflw or pro mix. Then I should know which is the best. I'm still a newb. why wouldn't you use ffhf for seedlings?

19 days old,, transplanting tomorrow. I have a question though. I'm transplanting into 4 gal. pots.using Fox Farm ocean Forrest.It has perlite in it. but on past grows I always added more. This time I'm using vermiculte My question is should I put a bottom layer of this stuff o each pot for good drainage? Never done this before but ran into problems with drainage last time. Floor got colder than thought it would and it froze the bottom of plant. That in turn started messing up entire plant.. I will be raising them a few inches off the floor this time. Also is it best to use mh or hps for remaining 5 weeks?

what do you mean by remaining 5 weeks? if you're planning to veg for 5 more weeks, then mh; hps for flowering.

I think he means 5 more weeks until he flips to 12/12 and flowers but idk.

they are auto flower. 8 weeks total

Update 62 days old from seed

Leaves look great now!

If you look at seedlings, they all grew the same. What I mean is if you look at 1st pic of seedlings on very first post. from left to right 1 is doing great next is a little less growth, 3 same way. 4th was weak the whole grow and has only grew about 24". Any thoughts on how close to finish? anyone? I'm figuring 2 weeks on 2 best ones. 2 fter I would say 2 1/2 last on needs about 3 more weeks.
