Sickly Plants

[Slackersulli]

I have two plants, about 10 days old, each on their 4th node. Using CFLs, 4-26W and 2-10W Dayglow, until I can get some bigger ones. Using soil. Each plant's leaves are curling under. They have been doing it for a couple days now. The new growth in the middle is reaching up, but every other leaf is curling. It was doing it before and after waterings. Color looks good. Anyone have any ideas? My best description, is that they are growing, but lack vigor

how often do you water?
What size of pots?
If you squeeze some of your soin in your hand does it break apart easy or does it clump solid?

Well with out seeing pics of them its a bit harder to say but are you seeing any yellowing or necrotic patches on the leaves? If you are id say its nute burn (shouldn't be nuting them anyways so i doubt its this). It sounds to me like its just simple over watering. I had the same problem for a little while and the whole plant just kinda gets droopy the leaves droop down and kinda form a claw. Just back off on your watering schedule a bit and see if your girls perk back up. As I've heard a few others say "It's very easy to over-love your plants."

Thanks Gundari. I think I am going to just slow down on the watering. I was doing it every three days, but I'll give them a good four or five before I water again.
