That looks like moisture stress, your humidity probably was too low with lights on.

They curl like that trying to conserve moisture.

what kind of lights are you running? how close are they to the plants. It looks like heat or light stress.

what kind of soil are you in? what are you feeding it?

ON a quick sidenote, your grow area seems to be near carpet which can easily attract spidermites. those things will just eat everything up. i have a few leave curlig up too hopefully a lil more humidity will help

Definitely heat stress bro. I fried a auto seedling a few weeks back when I took the propagator off.. It only took my seedling about 20mins to completey curl up. The first set off leaves that got burnt I just cut them off and she is right back on schedule.. Took a day or 2 to recover but you'll be fine.. For seedlings your lamp should be 2-3 ft from tops if using HID's . Good luck!

humidity should be in the range of 50-60% for veg. and 40-50% for flowering.

EDIT : i did some reading and jorge cervantes recommeds 80-95% clones, 60-70% veg, 40-60% flower. page 323 in the growers bible if you want to doublke check me.

Mine do that now... its because I do 24h light (i believe in 24h light you wont change my mind I did my research already), the plant will do that to protect itself from the 24h light. Its normal, it doesn't cause me any problems, i've had zero hermies from this, and overall i'm gonna keep doing it. If you do not use 24h light then I dunno.
