It looks like coco plugs or something inert. You can't really overwater plants that young unless they're sitting in standing water, even then its difficult till the water gets funky. They may be stretching or bending if they aren't getting enough light or its too far away.

Their growing in starter plugs. I am using a spray bottle to water them. Why are the first set of leaves drooping? How high do I keep the lights?.. Thanks

they dont need more light. They could be turning themselves away from the light because it is too intense. They dont even have leaves yet.

They should be planted right awayl. Those plugs are only meant to root cuttings or sprout a seed. The tap root needs room to grow down and branch out.

I agree with moving them/transplanting into a solo cup or similar. Do you have a fan on them? Just a light breeze will really help to toughen up the stems. If you are using CFL I would keep them 3-5 inches away until they develop a little more. Good Luck

(respectfully offer a different reason): I've never seen any plant turn away from any type of light, not sure that's even possible, maybe a flower might, but not any vegetation....
bongsmilieMore light, less water.
Move them closer to light and stop spraying them.
this is my thought, heck I place my lights even closer than that (I can post pics if need be) ...I'm wondering if those seeds were kinda planted too shallow...and from the looks of those plugs, too dry?
