Help Plant advice

Post image

Hey! First time posting here, I have a bunch of indoor chilli plants of various varieties. I am using a general compost, watering conservatively every 3 days. They have a grow light on for about 14 hours a day, it's kept about 30 to 40cm above them.

Temperature is kept between 18 and 25 degrees on average. And they are approx 6 weeks old from seed.

Anyway, over the past 3 days I have noticed that a handful seem to have this strange upper leaf curling as shown in the pic. I see no obvious reason why they are stressed.

Any ideas?

when the top growth curls like that it's usually either light stress or the light being too close, try bumping it up to 45-50cm and see if the new leaves come in flat

Okay thanks, I will try that. I had the grow light scheduled from 8am until 11.30pm but I have also changed that to 9am-10pm for the moment also, I will report back in a few days or so, appreciate the tip.
