Help for my babies

My AF seedlings are 11 days old and are looking a little iffy. The thumbnail on the left ... today, this baby has yellowing and a rust-colored spot on each large leaf. The second thumbnail is just plain droopy. They are in FF Happy Frog soil and I just transplanted them and put them under my 4 27w CFL bulbs. They were started in my Aerogarden.

Has anyone seen anything like this in the younguns and can I save them? Since they're AF, they should show sex and start flowering in the next couple of weeks, but these guys seem to be moving awfully slow.

Hmmm, a little slow eh?

You are only about 3 days behind.

You just transplanted them, so expect about 3 days of shock and root growth. It will take hold and soon it will be shooting up. I use the same lights and make sure they are about 1 to 1.5 inches from the top. They should be fine. The only thing you may need to worry about is over watering...that second pic kinda looks like it, but it could be just shock.
 
I would also suggest more perlite in your soil. I use about 1/3 perlite to 2/3 soil to provide air to the roots, space for easy root growth, and proper drainage for stimulating root growth.
