Hi All, any thoughts on what might be going on with these? They’ve been up for about two weeks. Quite a few of them seem to have this curling on the leaves. They’re in FFHF and get the artificial lights the first couple hours of the day then outside until dark.

Looks to me like you’re over watering them let them dry out

Yes. Overwatered. Seedling should only get a couple ml of water per day. Wet soil risks damping off (root rot.)

I agree, soil looks wet.
I think more hrs of light would help.
At that stage mine would be under 24 hr light.

Thanks! I had just watered right before I took the pics, but I will definitely let them dry out and see if cutting back on the water helps.

Get them into their final home, dampen the soil put a dome over them until they get a little bit bigger. Let the humidity do the watering for ya right now. If the soil starts to look a little to dry go ahead and give them like 5-10ml of water. They like to be relatively dry in this stage.
Also make sure to have an oscillating fan going or some air movement on it that’s strength her up a lot too.
They’re also looking pretty leggy so when you move them into their new home back fill it up a little bit more to correct the leggy growth

I had trouble with seedlings for a long time then someone told me to quit starting my seeds in those small squares. Told me to always use something the size of a solo cup or larger. That alone has eliminated my bad luck with seedlings.

Thanks for all of the responses. I repotted them last night and so far they are all doing well.
