8" from a 400w HPS bulb for plants that small is way, way, way, too close. In fact 8" from a grown plant is too close in my opinion. I would consider either raising the light or using fluorescents for this stage of growth.

Cheers mick appreciate your advice i will raise th lights right away and think about geting florecent for this stage as its only a few weeks from poping out the soil the bulb is air cooled but ive moved it up about a foot

I'm no expert, but I see you are using distilled water. Are you supplementing with CalMag? Yellowing between the veins is a symptom of a magnesium deficiency, and I've run into problems with young plants when using tap water without CalMag.

I s from a slug. Its a worm . like bug. You know what it is. Had a feast on the top of the leaves . it looked slimy to me u said the slime i s now dry. . if plants are good one day and look like that the next is a bug . get some beer traps. Put beer in a bowl . the slugs go in for. A drink and never come out

that's too close for a young plant.
To me, it looks like it could just be light burn -- perhaps during watering some of it got onto the leaves, and the water drops magnified that light like a loupe.
Also, I'd wait to see if it gets worse or stops now that you've raised the lights before going he-man on her with nutes.

Just use Epsom salt for the mag. Get it at the local drug store.

Sorry I'm late but I agree the light is was to close.
CFLs,t5s, or 19w LEDs for seedlings.
What kind of soil is that I don't see any perlite, what's in it for aeration. Looks like a bunch of bark , kinda hard to tell, but bark can be acidic.
Go easy on the nutes it's a little early.
