Hey dock they look oky the back left one looks a bit yellow are you letting them get full dry before watering againSeems to be pretty uniformly on all of my plants. One plant (back left) seemed droopy this morning, so that's the only reason I even noticed. 12 day old seedlings (NL #1)
Lots of pictures, what do ya think?

I'd let them get dry to the touch I have hard time not let them dry out al the way to as long as leaf don't drop from to dry I know it's a hard balance like for me especially with my schedule and forgetting some times

FFOF soil & giving deer park water.. that's it. I think the leaves are turned down from an accidental overwater on Thursday. PH should be 6.5ish. Just wondering about the color on the stems.

Easy fix …..
Transplant them …. Bury stalk up to bottom of first set ( cotyledon) - then it will root more from the buried stalk. Deer park water is 7.5 ph. Tap is simpler with FFOF and oyster shell buffering. Cash stays in pocket.

I wasn't going to post on this grow but I'd like to show you how I plant in pots.
I accually just started this and put the plants in pots this morning.
First I fill the 15 gal bag about 2/3 full and put a 1 gallon plastic pot in and fill the 15 gal with the very best Super Soil I can make. Then I fill the 1 gal pot with 1/2 SS and 1/2 base soil (that I put in the SS). Then set the new cup with the new plant 1 gal pot and fill it in.
If you look close at the picture each pot is set just a little deeper. When it's time to transplant lift the seed starter cup out, carefully remove the plant WITHOUT disturbing the soil and drop it (gently) into the hole the cup left. Do it right and it's a perfect fit. Water it in and it already has it's right amount of nutes. When it's time do the same thing with the one gal pot. Each pot is a little deeper than the next. This is the perfect opportunity to do what @Budzbuddha said.

I just PH'd it at 6.5 (golden dehydrated pee) on the General Hydroponics tester lol. Anyways I 100% agree, i use tap once its been transplanted, I'm not crazy enough to pour 4 gallons of deer park every 48hrs on plants

Alright i'll do that, thanks. These plants are 12 days old, not sure the root system is built up enough yet to pull it out of the solo cups. Was going to give it another few days before transplant so it doesn't all fall apart. You're saying, caution to the wind, do it rn?

I wouldn't transplant them yet, but when you do I'd add some Mykos.

Think this leaf droop/curl is from an overwater thursday (no water since then) or maybe too much light? Or don't sweat it lol, i hate when they're young.. i worry so much

If those are clear cups i would wait to see roots and watch the water movement in the soil.

Well it started drooping friday after a real soaking water thursday, so i figure I'd better let it dry out. No good?
