Possible trouble with seedling?

Hey guys, Ive done a little browsing to see if I could identify the problem, but figure it might be worth asking. I have a seedling that is just over a week old that has been looking strange for the last 3 or so days. The leaves seem to be warping (twisting?) and their edges are clawing up a little. The leaves themselves have started to angle upward (my light is 3 inches from the seedling, so I wouldnt think that its too far). Additionally, I noticed a few very tiny brown spots that my phone camera doesnt pick up, which indicate calcium deficiency perhaps? Though they are no longer appearing on the newer forming leaves. Unfortunately, I am waiting for my ph meter to arrive, so I cannot tell if the ph of my soil is off. One sure thing is that this seedling is a darker shade of green than the second seedling I have, which is approximately 3 days younger. So maybe the older seedling is experiencing nute burn from the FFOF soil (although I am then unsure what caused the brown spots)? Also, my temp is usually around 82 degrees with lights on and as low as 74 with lights off. The RH is usually around 30-45%... will get a humidifier soon.

Anyways, any guidance in the right direction would be much appreciated. Also, would I be better off posting in the Plant Problems section of the forum in the future? Or is it ok to do this in the newbie section? Thanks in advance!

The leaves angling up like that isnt a big deal? Also, the reason I initially became concerned was that the edges curling up increased day by day, whereas the other seedling hasnt had it happen at all (though its a different strain, if that has anything to do with it). The leaves on the younger one have been completely flat.

don't worry they look fine....
the soil does look pretty wet i'd just lay off the water for a few days
and let her dry out :)

Yep, I had watered last night. Glad to know that I don't have to worry. It being the first time, anything that I'm not expecting or haven't read about sets the red light off. Thank you guys for the help.

Also would it be worth moving it a little closer to the light? The reason I ask is because the leaves were not angled upward nearly as much a day ago.

New parents are sooooooo cute. Don't worry after a few grows you will treat them like a fourth child and let them raise themselves. :hug:
