Hey guys, First time grow here so i dont know if i'm over reacting or if this is normal, got some beans from demon seeds , have 3 strains growing at the moment LSD, afghan kush And Vanilla Kush , seedlings are around 7 days old and appear to be fine, just one seems to have abit of a bending action going on? i'm not to sure if the lights to close to far away? or maybe she needs water? ( havent watered in the last 24 hours probably had about 2 mistings) i'll post some pictures of my whole setup, hoping someone can give me some pointers:)

 

lights are x 2 cfl 30w rated to 150w 1060 lumens each and the middle cfl is a 26w 960 lumens ( local store ran out of the high wattage cfls ) growing in a basic 1 door cupboard , i had to doctor 2 of the strains as they left there helmets on and some of that membrane stuff but seems they pulled up ok from it,

 

not sure of why the bending is happening, is probably normal but i'd like others to see my setup and point anything out that can benefit me, cheers guys

 

sorry about the quality of the photos , i really cant find the cord to the good digital camera, the plant that is bending is the plant on the far right ( or see pic 3 and 7)

 

if it helps the rockwool feels pretty dry at the moment and may be due for a watering and i also have the seedlings under 24/0 cycle, what do people reccomend doing 24/0 or 18/6? cheers:)

I would be taking those aluminum trays off the pots. Maybe use them when the plant gets bigger but they will only reflect light to the underside of the plants. Of no use with seedlings. They look healthy enough, give them a bit more time.

I totally agree with Brick, get rid of those trays.

They could be making the plant think that the light source is coming from underneath the plant and thus the plant is bending to the source.

But they look healthy enough and that one will straighten up.
