Probably the plants natural way to avoid the wind from the fan. Seedlings that small don't like to have air blowing on them. I'd atleast wait until it has a few nodes and is taller before unleashing a fan on it. Give it another week then start using the fan. Just my 2 cents

Hrmm, turning it off now. I have another fan in the room that is strictly for air circulation. I am using the other one for circulation and to strengthen the stalks. I'll let you all know what happend : )

I had a similar problem and shut my fan down and noticed a much better look to the leaves in about a day. What type of soil mix or soiless mix do you use??? How much water do you give them and how often??? What type of lights do you use and how far away??? I always use a super aerated mix for starters so the seeds have no problems establishing a good root system and the when I transplant I use a slightly stiffer mix. Give some more info and maybe we could pinpoint you problem(s). Goodluck

Hey, thanks for the input. I am growing hydro. I have no nutes in the water yet. It's a 10 gallon DWC bubble and I am using several sunbulbs with a 35 watt usage and a 100 watt output. The seed I am concerned about it picutured on the far right in the middle. This may give you an idea of the amount of light hitting that particular plant. Thanks.

i would move those cf;s a bit closer to those seedlings for one thing

i would start to add some weak nutes to thsoe seedlings too

with a big container like that i know its hard to airiate it well not to mention change the water in it

how much air you got going through there? air stones and air pumps

I had one of my 9 seedlings do this in soil. As soon as it got its first feeding it perked up. it grew fine

Update as promised! I turned the fan off and in just about a day the curved leaf problem was solved. I also added nutes to the seedling and they look very happy : )

good to hear they are looking better. But that Mylar on the walls....is it even doing any good. It seems way to far to really even be reflecting any light and helping.

If you wanted you could get some cardboard and glue the mylar on that and surround th area with the cardboard like walls.

and as stich said , Id get those CFLs a lot closer.

I thought that would be the issue. Wait until they are just a little bigger and then turn the fan back on. Goodluck to you.
