wow man your seedlings look pretty bad.. you need to give them major light..
I'd put them under your 600w (a few feet away) for a week so they can recover and grow properly
or get a few CFLs a couple inchs above them, ASAP

they look like sunflowers rather then marijuana

what you can do, is repot them, and plant the stem in like a circle, so that all that shows is a little bit of stem and the leaves. and then move the light a bit closer.

The plants are ludicrously stretched as your hid is to far away.
As long as the hps is about 24" away from the seedlings and you have a fan blowing at the lamp,not on the seedlings yet as they will probably fall over they will be fine.

Put them into coffee cup sized pots and plant them right back down so that only about 1-2" of stem is visible above the soil.
If they continue to stretch like they are they will probably topple over and snap and die.
Nice equipment and grow room though:blsmoke:

Yes, try and save them but I would suggest germing a few more seeds just in case.

Dude, transplant those seedlings into their pots and bury the majority of the stem. That will give the stem support. then get a few fluorescent lights within a few inches of the seedlings to stop the stretching and encourage more horizontal growth. If you put them under the HPS they will either continue to stretch or fry.

Also, your set up looks cool as hell. Try using as little duct tubing as possible. I noticed from the picture that you have plenty of slack in the tubing between the fan and the hole in the wall. You loose a significant percentage of fan power for every foot of ducting.

Sweet little Grow space. Next time go to Wal-mart and pick up a $15.00 Shop Light for your seedlings. A Shop light will save you a couple of bucks on your electric bill. Never start plants under a HID. It's a waste of time and money.
