image.jpg image.jpg My new leaves are growing on my seedlings but I've run into a problem... My new leaves are curling/folding underneath the other leaves. These were bag seeds and only one of my plants is doing it so it could be genetics.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would not panic, they still look healthy. They look large enough to take nutrients now. what and how often are you feeding and are you P.H ing your water. Is that A soilless mix or something like Fox Farm

I started using distiller water a couple days ago and I'm about to transplant... Do you think this will help with ph?

yeah I tired to hold off on feeding them until I started noticing the curling... I sprayed with small dosage of fertilizer once and switched to distilled water a couple days ago. I am going to transplant this weekend and going to pre fertilize the soil with another very low dosage. If I continue using distilled water should this help with the ph problem?

And it is just a basic seedling soil.. Switching to an organic soil with perlite when I transplant. And I'm also using a miracle grow fert.. I know what they say, but it was pretty cheap and I'm going to being giving very low amounts. Does MG truly not work that well? And I'm planning on switching to some kind of bloom fertilizer when I am flowering.
P.S. This is my first grow so any help at all would be awesome..

You can grow with MG, they aren't tailored to this type of plant and some of the ferts will suit your needs better than others (eg. cactus feed might be good). They typically aren't used due to high npk ratio which makes it easy to burn your plants and the lack of micro-nutrients. The miracle grow soil shouldn't be used due to time release nitrogen which will mess with the flowering stage and I believe this is where most of their bad rep in this niche comes from.

There are other 1-bottle type (bloom if you have to pick just 1) nutrients that would work better, like floranova or dyna-gro off the top of my head, like you had mentioned. I would skip feeding for a while as the soil should have enough for the plant to be healthy. Same goes for after transplant, the nice organic soil you are going to use should keep her fed for a couple weeks at least. Just try not to over water and wait until they turn a bit light green then feed them gently.

This is just my opinion.
