clearly looks like overwatever/lack of oxygen to the roots
After all info considered I think it was the heat from the light. I have no idea how much heat those CFLs produce tho. See if the leaves lift up a little late tomorrow. It seems like you're doing everything else right. It can take a day or two for you to see a real improvement. How long has this thing been growing? My seedlings came up and looked perfect, then after about 6-7 days they started doing what yours is doing. Heat stress stunts them pretty well, but afterwards it seems that they grow nodes closer together than other non-burnt plants of the same strain(in my case). I had a 400w MH like 1 ft away from them lol. Now its 5 ft up and I just elevate older plants.

I dont think it is any of that, sounds like overwatering
Try changing your watering habits a lil. Could help.

He's watering every 3-4 days. I water every other day and don't ever see this problem. Mine are under HID light tho....

or perhaps rather than comprimising your overall yield with early problems, why dont you save some money go buy yourself some supplies that most people should have prior to starting the grow. The thernometer/ humidity gauge, soil and pots, and of course seeds at very least. I think a bit more investment is due here.

i think my plant is just a dick :d cause its growing pritty fucked up , the soil it is in in a organic potting mix. i use phd water , i have a thermostat that has humidity on it also.
i think it was lack of oxygen to the roots. , i hope it looks better tomorrow

well, i wasnt saying that to be mean but more or less advice to start your seeds in something bigger, so that the young roots have room to spread and flourish which will help promote in new growth and more than likely end up with a nice root system in the end, ive had too many problems with roots, i like to keep my pots kinda big now, yeah you have to water more to make sure it hits the bottome but overall i'd say its worth it.

yea i plan on going into a 5 gal pot
Alright.. well I just typed out a huge response, but then clicked back for some reason.. so.. more direct.
I thought over watering, but unlikely on a 3-4 day water cycle. Probably because of the hard soil, as aforementioned, lack of oxygen.
A few tips or suggestions.
1. Carbohydrate Feed (0-0-0), any hydroponics store will have this for ya. Organic versions are mostly kelp/molasses based, not sure of the inorganic versions, if there are such a thing. Basically an energy drink for plants, as you can see the n-p-k is a fat zero all around. Use at 1/4 strength at this stage is what i'd suggest. Hydro shop should have some free or very cheap measuring cups.. just ask if they have any free cheapies if you need a measuring container hehe.
2. Check this months Cannabis Culture or High Times, they actually talk about carb feeds during flush.. but they go more in depth.. however one of the magazines ALSO has an ask Ed section, and specifically curling leaves.. if its curling for no clear reason it might be genetically coded to do so (as a mutation or just strain characteristic).. doesn't mean its unhealthy.. however i'd suggest to exhaust other options first, to rule anything out.
3. Lastly, this stuff, I swear by it.. i've been using it for months, and its just a sample bottle, its called ALG-A-MIC. I've used it at all stages, except once i've started my flush cycle. Whats in it? I have no idea, when the plants are young I use about 1-2mL per 1L of water, veg to flower, about 2.5-5mL, and flowering up to flush about the same. HOWEVER.. its usually a splash at each stage, once when young, once when in veg, and once in early to mid flower. If I see nute deficiency its used first which almost always clears things up, if not then I move to fish emulsion options.
Again this is available at many hydro shops, and should be available online too.. and it is.. GroWell > Bio-Bizz Alg-A-Mic
I've stumbled into the BioBizz products slowly, and haven't looked back. I run everything organic when possible, or try to, except of course ph calibration fluid, which is debatable lol..
Anyways, no cash, no worries, if the plant looks like its hurting, a flush, a bit of fresh soil, and gentle soil loosening goes along way.. it might not be the best lookin plant in the world, but trust me man, it'll be the best herb that you've ever smoked
. Remember its good to treat them delicately but they are hardy!
Share the peace.
