I don't know if you can tell in the following pic but my seedlings have some really wonky leafs. I've noticed this on prior grows and google searches have led me to believe it's Ph related but I'm not so sure.

I only get these bent leafs on seedlings in the first few weeks and by the time they reach their third node or so the leafs begin to come out more normal.

It's really noticeable on one of the plants it looks straight up damaged but I know I don't have invasive bugs or heat issues. Once again only happens on seedlings and it stops once they get to a certain point.

Anyways, these plants are a week and a half to two weeks old, I lost count somewhere but I know it's in that time frame. Started from seed there is Dinafem OG Kush (Far Left) and the other two are Afghani Kush Regular I got as some freebie seeds, the OG was a freebie too.

I suffer this infraction too ...lol

I put it down to the 4 inch (.650ml) pots I use

or I could make the soil more gritty by adding sand

see them as rootbound

good luck

Be careful looks like your overwatering judging from the tan perlite.
 
i get same thing usually clears up as the grow continues usually about first 3 weeks for me but i do blame overwatering myself as when they small its so hard to gauge i think specially when using larger pots at first looking at ur pics again i would check ya roots see how they doing could be a little overpopulation

Definitely not, the orange perlite is from extra iron in my water. I have unfiltered well water. I water maybe once every other day they were drying out those little containers real fast.

I was just saying I general an given the soil was went just signs to take into account. That must be some heavy iron in your well. Last I checked mine it's high in calcium. I'm way up northern mi though. Other than that they're looking good.

Already moved them to bigger pots. Going to letnthem veg out for three weeks and then flip.
 
I just checked my tracker they are only around ten or eleven days old since soil broke I've never had roots that fast.
