The 2nd true leaf on one of my seedlings is "curling" or rippling on the end. What is causing it? Wide temp variations? Soil? Just curious if it is anything to worry about.

My 1502 did exactly the same. The 3rd leaf was also mildly affected. As the leaves got bigger the crinkly edge seemed to be holding the leaf back as it did not expand. I trimmed the edge off and the rest of the leaf then grew normally. Hasn't held the plant back in the long run at all. Main vine now 10ft at 37 days from sowing!

The 2nd leaf on my 1446 Werner did this, it was a horrible looking leaf! The four leaves that have emerged since then have been perfect though.

That is a relief. Thansk for the replies. Amazing how differently (speed) the two plants are growing at the beginning.
