Practise seed AG the plant is a couple days old but the leaves are curling weird there a picture on my diary. Is that something wrong with my soil or what?

From what I can see those are the cotyledons if I am not mistaken. They are basically the throwaway leaves. You should see the first true leaf come up any day now. Once I get a couple of good leaves I usually cut the first ones off. The plant looks good to me so far.

Should have said that I cut off the cotyledons.

Looks good to me, are you just practicing? those are really good genetics to just throw away. My thoughts.

Gritch is correct, those are the Cotyledons and only important to provide the seedling the nutrition until the roots are big enough to take over. But to answer the direct question we need some more info.

Do you soak your seeds in something before germinating?

What kind of media are you using -- Does it have fertilizer in it?

Is your germ box/container completely dark?

What temp do you have the soil?

When do you put them under the light after the pop?

What kind of light are you using?

How close it the light to the seedlings?

Looks good here too. I never worry about what the cotyledon leaves look like.

I've seen the cots shrivel and twist much worse than that. The first true leaf should emerge perpendicular to them.
