Not sure if this could be anything major since it’s the first set of leaves but some of the leaves are a little wonky looking. Not sure what could cause this. I transplanted in Coco two days ago but the leaves were starting to look that way before. Light is at 20% about 28 inch from canopy… it was closer and I thought pulling back might help since they’re young… right now about 13 days old. Water is ph 5.8. Giving them half strength nutrient solution using Athena

Nothing to worry about they look good I’ve seen tons of my first sets of leaves get a little funky
Appreciate your insight. It’s my first grow so I’m just over analyzing everything

What you are seeing there is what is know as pH curl. The pH is either too high or too low for the plant.
Optimal pH for following mediums:
Soil 6.5-6.8
Coco 6.0-6.1
Hydroponic 5.8
You plant looks good. Get the pH of the solution correct and the leaves will straighten out.

Ok I will raise it a touch then and see what happens. Appreciate it

I've found my plants are much happy at 6.0-6.2 pH.
You said you were feeding half strength nutrients, what is the EC that comes out to? Young plants don't need especially strong EC feed.
I’ll be honest I don’t have an EC reader… maybe I should dilute it a bit with some more water? I’m probably going to stay away from watering today. Two are completely fine but this is the worst of it.
