New Sprouts, curling leaves

Hey,
Got some new sprouts in my first setup here, so gonna have some questions along the way.

Wondering if perhaps Im watering these plants too much or too little, or maybe if the water isnt getting to the bottom of the soil? One of the plants got some heat damage early on thus the slightly crisped leaves, but its recovered well considering I caught it sooner than later.

Also, let me know if you think I should add something or remove something from this setup. The two silver lights are CFLs, the black one is an enLux LED floodlight, and the one on the far left is a philips plant light (120 watt) dunno how well that light is gonna help, I think its incandescent.

thanks!

Mine have semi the same look but with them being that young I would lean to a watering problem either too much or too little but they always come though for me and grow even if they look a little shakey like that just don't go adding fert and think it is that and you will be fine.

I have seedling that size now and I put two of them In good top soil with perlite and two of them in miricle grow soil. The ones in the plain soil needed a fert at one and a half weeks and the other one have not stopped growing but came up a little wierder looking like them pics you posted, what soil did you use.

I used a half and half mixture of some miracle grow with like 19-10-12 I think, and then some other looser (dryer) soil that was like 14-5-16.

They perked up a bit now though, so the problem has subsided, perhaps too much water maybe... now all of my babies have sprouted, 8/8 germinated seeds have succeeded now let's hope for 8/8 females :joint::peace:
