How hot is it in the room?
Yellowing could be caused by:
Too much light
Too hot
Too much nutrient.... Or insufficient nutrient
Too high or low of PH.
Poor ventilation

Try making a new batch of nutrient and getting the ph closer to 5.5 and TDS around 350. Make sure the temps of the water is around 68-72 and the temps for the room are around 76-80 degrees.

If you don't have a fresh supply of air coming and going out of the room every minute, this could cause you leaves to yellow also.

ppm should be 500-600 for seedlings, increasing to 900 during flowering.

330 is way too low - not enough nutes for plant.

pH is ok, try to drop to 5.5 if poss.

Is'nt 500-600 ppm just a tad too much for seedlings? I've always kept it no higher than 400 for seedlings and gradually going up 50-100 more PPM's every week till flowering.

85-90 is too hot, try cooling it a bit. I would flood 1-2 times a day.
