Welcome to the board. Pics always make a difference, so if you can post some, I think you'll get lots of help.

Physiological Leaf Roll
Leaf roll develops in rainy periods. The lower leaves roll upward until the edges touch and become thick and leathery. Leaf roll is favored by cool wet weather, excessive fertilizer, and pruning. It has no serious effect on plant growth or yield, and usually no management practices are required, this sounds like what i have

Probably the fertilizer. I usually stick to 1/4 strength for
seedlings, even with mild stuff like fish and kelp. That
avoids salt buildup in what is after all a very small pot
initially.

They will catch up fast to larger seedlings once they are
outside and the weather warms up.
