Well yur problemz r comin frum usin an incandescent light.
Itz too hot 4 yur little plant.

Seriously replace the bulb in that fixture with the BIGGEST BADDEST CFL you can find, and your problems will be closer to being solved.

Now in the pic on the right, it's blurry but I see some cupping in the fan leaves.

You can get that from a coupl;e things. Heat stress is a possibility, and that light would contribute.

Molybdenum deficiency can also cause it, but a plant that young should not be showing it yet.

Fix your lights and see if it goes away.

CFL?

[Reverse G.B.]

CFL stands for Compact Fluorescent Light. Itâ??s like a fluorescent tube except its "wound" up. They are great for growing because they can concentrate an immense amount of light on a small area. They are so common that they have them at hardware stores and Wal-Mart. Here's a pic of one http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...tLightBulb.jpg
