not quite sure what u mean m8, if its like a claw shape then i no what u mean the leaf tip/tips will curl under themselves is this what u mean ? if so its usualy a over nitrogen fed or over waterd are the classic symptoms of the claw leaf ! and u did say it was more greener than the others this is probly coz its had some nutes and its gota lot of N in the plant and shows itself to be very dark green with possible leaf claw also ! pics speak a thousand words man but as ur unable to upload one its a guessing game to a gegree, even with pics its still a guessing game more often than not,, hopeu sort it but dont panic cozits early days and as long as uyou ph at 6.5 ish u wont go to far wrong ph wise. peace !

sounds like you might be over watering, also give them a little stress with air flow on the leaves with a fan...seedling need to dry out a bit to stimulate root growth.
ph in soil 6.5, hydro/coco 5.8...............do you have a ph tester?

Could be too much nutrients....and or over watering....every day and a half sounds like you might be over watering.....you are in soil right.? and from your post it seems like your plants are young......seedlings don't need any nutrients,and usually will be fine with just water in nutrient rich soil for a while,what kind of soil are you using??......without more info and or pics it is hard to diagnose.......

No laughing here.......it might have nutrients still in it.....did you feed because your plants became deficient or because you thought it would make them grow bigger..??.....you should only feed when your plant show signs of slight deficiencies.....

i fed because they were growing supppper slow so i gave jist one nutes to see if that worked. but i think the rate of growth was do to my crappy lighting that i now changed

It being in the yard does NOT mean it has zero nutes. lol

It is a cheap route. But I have used yard dirt before. Some places have great natural soil. The world didnt become what it is today with soil from the store lol

your culprit is low soil ph
water it with 6.5 plain water and watch the leaves straighten out in the next couple days

whatever will bring ur medium back to range
my guess on what happened is when u fertilized it,u didnt ph the nute solution resulting in an acidic mixture causing the low ph when applied
using ur tap should work fine in bringing it up
