My baby was fine 3 days ago, and it slowly started doing this.. the first set of true leaves are pointing down, and the new ones are pointing straight up. I also think growth was slowed since this started happening.

Temps: 83 - 90
Hum: 30 - 45

12/12 from seed
107w 2700k cfl

Seventh day, have fed molasses once at 1tbsp per gallon.
50/50 perlite:soil
soil is MGOG
I have enough airflow and exhaust too.

EDIT: Also the oval leaves are pointing up, you can't really see the second set of true leaves, but they are pointing up

88-90 could be to hot for it. Not sure if that's your exact problem I just know I've lost two seedlings from 90 degree heat before.

How often are you watering?

Watering when the soil is on the drier side which is every 5 days or so

Too hot, stop using MG soil, don't feed until the second or third set of leaves.
Molasses has nutrients in it and can make your soil rotten if it's not getting used up.
Water and light only for the first few weeks.
The soil should dry considerably before watering again. This encourages root development.

I have to stick to MGOC for this grow, and the temps stay at around 85 MOST of the time.

A good flush maybe? (Just going by the motto.. "When in doubt, flush!"

water every other day plant like it 5 days to long u want soil dry about 2inch from the top
No do not
There's not enough root structure and it won't be able to soak up and use all that water and you could drown her.

Every 5 days sounds about right.

And get your temps DOWN. And do not feed anything for another 2 weeks. JUST water

EDIT: And no, I personally would not flush. She's to small and you have to much dirt. I think that may only hurt.

Give it less water when you do water it. Allow a lil dry time for good root development.
I do believe this might be a cause, because I give it 2 cups of water on a 1/2g pot

Water it is for next two weeks

85... I'm not sure about... I know it's only 1 degree dif, but I NEVER EVER let mine get about 84. And when it gets to 84, I start doing work to bring those temps down!.. I'd try to get it to 80 if I were you. That's a really good temp.

Though you SHOULD be alright with 85 if you absolutely can't get it down
