Light burn?

Hey. So this is my seedling and today it showed some unusual color change. I am growing in a fridge with CFLs and the seedling is 11 days old. I haven't added any nutrients. The temperature is normal and the pH levels of the water unknown (i am using tap water). Last night I changed the light schedule to 18/6 from 24/0. What caused the plant to turn yellow? Could it be some kind of burn? If so, what should I do? Thanks in advance.:joint:

Back off that light. Upward curled leaf edges is a sign of light/heat burn.

And what is "normal" temperature? Are you taking the temp reading at plant level?

How many plants? Just that one?

How many CFL's? How many watts?

Good air circulation?

The temperature is around 20-28 celsius and my air circulation is good but not great I have to admit. I have a pc fan in the box and a pump placed outside to blow air in. The box is placed outdoors. Im not really sure of what I should do as I am a newbie grower. I have two plants - the one shown in the pictures and a very small seedling that sprouted 3 days ago. The soil is organic. I have two CFLs 23 watt each. The leaves are not curling.

So you have a plant growing outdoors, in a box under light bulbs?

Yes. :D But it works great and the temperature inside is great. I put it outside because I didn't have space for it to be indoors. (the mini fridge isn't on obviously)
