planted these WW 2 days ago, sprouted yesterday but the first leaves are looking really droopy! the soil has worm casting humus and verlite in it and the moisture level seems fine dont think they have been over watered. directly under a 250w CFL (about an inch) with decent ventilation.

Poor pics but what do you think?

the first set of fan (true) leaves aren't even big enough to droop

They look fine

It takes a few days for the leaves to take shape. I wouldn't do anything to it. Just let it go on it's own....
 
I had the same thing with my WW seedlings. The leaves looked a little fatter and had rounder edges then I had seen with other strains. They drooped a little, but corrected themselves a couple weeks in. The rule of thumb I'm using is that if the leaves droop down, it's too much water, and if they curl up, it's not enough water. I put my finger about an inch into the soil to see if it's moist (you can't really tell by the look of the eye.)

Good luck! :D
