Seedlings Twisting/Blackening Tips?

Hello all,

Been a long time reader of the forums and follower of some grow journals. Finally was able to start a grow about a couple of weeks ago. I've ran into a couple problems that I've been trying to remedy by reading, but I can't find anything on this. If it exists, which I'm sure it does, I apologize.

I ordered some seeds off the net and currently am growing a Northern Lights plant, a strain called Immaculate Stone, and a freebie I got from Dinafem called Power Kush

I germinated them on May 18th using paper towel, and planted them into soil on the 20th.

From what I've been reading, it's usually an overwatering or underwatering issue. I'm leaning on overwatering, but I haven't watered in over 4 days and it seems to be getting worse and worse.

I'm currently growing them under 3 5000k Cfls and 2 6500. Around 1-3 inches from the lights. I also have a 400w MH and 400w HPS that I plan on using.

Temps with lights on are from 75-80 degrees
Temps with lights off are 68-70 degrees
Humidity is around 30-35 %
Using water, no nutes

The seeds popped soil between 20th and 22nd

here are the three plants.

They're about 10 days old and seem to show a lot less growth than others that im seeing online (same age) .

Signs of the second set of true leaves, but they haven't shown any growth since they appeared

First 4 pictures are the immaculate stone, second 3 are the northern lights, last 2 are the power kush(which is my only one not twisting/yellowing)

Sorry for the abundance of photos,

thank you


edit: I forgot to add what i've tried.

since the blackening/twisting I've stopped watering. Stopped about 4 days ago, and since then the seedlings have progressively gotten worse.

I did notice that the soil was pretty hard an inch or so under so I squeezed the cups a bit and loosened the soil with a sanitized fork.

So far, they keep getting worse.

Thank you

Hey koodo,

Haha, yeah. Took your advice.

So the twisting of the 4th pic is fine? Seems a bit unusual from other pics I'm seeing. And from the other pictures I'm seeing much more growth after 10 days. Mine still only have 1 set of true leaves and mini second sets.
