cold stress? diagnose needed

Hello guys. This is my first post here. Just got my new setup, trying to grow 2 different strains under a LED.
They are both 1 week old, first one is a 00 cheese (sativa i think), the one on the 3rd picture is a caramel kush (indica).
Temperatures have been lower than recommended (high 17Cº-low 13Cº). the one on the first 2 pictures is clearly not growing as well as the other one, its first set of leaves have a weird curve down, is it wilting because of low temperatures? i read that sativas have a hard time dealing with cold compared to indicas. yesterday i tried putting a little plastic bag on top to try and conserve as much heat specially during lights off period.
I haven't watered once since the first soaking of the soil, before planting, it still feels moist under the top.
Can someone give some input of what could be happening with her?
Thanks

Take a 2 litre pop bottle cut in half makes a little dome,this will increase humidity and temp poke a few holes in the tops.
what dirt is that? looks terrible.

they look really good despite the medium they're growing in. looks like baby poop. i'd get some perlite or something in there when/if you transplant.

otherwise looks pretty normal for 1 week.

good luck to ya.

I grabbed the soil from my backyard where I've successfully grown tomatoes, onions, potatoes etc without a problem so i thought it should be good for cannabis too. its definitely a muddy soil but water still drains on the bottom after watering

I'd get some potting soil for your pots. Leave the garden soil in the garden.

Looks like you brought in some stray seeds and probably a bunch of bugs. And that soil doesn't have enough nutrients in it to feed the plant for a whole cycle so you'll have to add those in later as well, in addition to the poor drainage.

The plants look good though.

Maybe i'll just buy a bag of soil from the store and do a re-plant on those pots. Might be too thick of a soil for the little roots. Meanwhile i will do the plastic cup on top for the greenhouse effect see if it gets better the next days. Thanks
