As im pretty new to growing id just like to know if this is anything to get concerned about or not. Either way id love to know whats causing this. Not the best picture to illustrate the curl but as you can see on the bottom left leaf it is definitely present.

Many Regards!

curling up is indicative of the plant reaching toward the light...
normally I would lower my light a tad or simply wait till the plant reaches it's way into a more comfortable height...
looks healthy though....

be careful though...too close and you burn them...
I use HID...so my lights stay a decent distance away.

CFL are cooler and can be put closer.
but too close and you burn them.

reaching isnt necessarily a bad thing.... if your CLFs are only 5" away... consider moving them closer...
but also consider leaving them be and letting the plant grow to where it wants to be..

I actually bring my outdoor plants in every night and put them under one cfl..just for some extra light...
mine sit almost right next to the bulb...but I dont pay as much care/attention to my outdoor plants as I do my indoor ones....
