Please Help Sick Super lemon haze seedlings!

My room has 2 1000w Eye Hortilux blue metal halides, an 8in vortex intake, and a 10in max canfan with a phresh filter exhaust. The hoods are air cooled, the room stays between 74-79 Fahrenheit, with a 41-50% humidity. I also have 3 osculating fans, circulating the air. I am only using one of the 1000w and the girls are 3ft away from it, they are on a 18-6 light cycle.
I started germinating 12 super lemon haze seeds on 3/24 in a paper towel, I transferred them to soil within 2 days, and they had all popped up within 1-2days. So they are roughly 8-9 days old.

I am using roots organics original potting soil, with botanicare pure blend pro grow, liquid karma, vitamino, silica blast, aquashield, and cal mag. I have not used any nutrients only oakland tap water filtered with The Green Knight filter, and ph'd to 6.3-6.5.

The plants were looking great till about 2 days ago, now the edges of the leaves are flipping up kinda, The color in some of the leaves just doesn't look right, almost spotted looking, but not brown or anything. Some of the leaves are also curling under, just in weird directions. One of the lady's first set of true leafs was deformed as well, I was thinking it was genetics, just a bad seed.
I'm wondering if this is a ph problem I have a book with some plant problems shown in it, and it almost looks like ph.

I asked the lady at the hydro store if the ph tester had been calibrated and she said yes. When i check Oakland tap water it's around a 9.2-9.4. When I transplant I think I am going to go to a coco medium maybe Promix. I feel like the soil in roots organics is too hot for all my nutrients. Any help is much appreciated guys, I love the site and read here all the time. First post. I posted some pics so you all can see, hope you can help

I'd guess that the light is too strong and the soil is too hot. Get a fluorescent light for the first week or two and save on your 1K bulb life. Good luck! BTW you have a really nice set up for veg and flower, you could have those seedlings in a closet until then.
 
Probly should have gotten a dimable ballast huh? They look like theyre blistered dont they, like your melting them a bit. They dont look that bad yet. But they could get worse if you dont do somthing about how much light you have on them. I doubt its the ph, you could check the ph on some well known liquids if your worried about your meter. Id just take them off the table for now and put em on the floor. If its light burn then theyll get a little crispy in the next few days but if tour not going to get a new light or exchange your ballast then just ride it out on the floor, they look like theyll survive. :):):)
 
I really wanted to get the quantum dimable digis, I just couldn't afford it. I just got 2 sun system used traditional ballasts instead.
I think you guys are right, a combo of light too strong and close, and the soil being too hot.
It could honestly be a little ph too. When do you think the roots organic will lighten up? I am going to lower them back to 4 - 4 and a half from the light and just feed them ro water.
Also when I transplant I think i am going to go to coco. I was just so set on it and then I let the person at the hydro store convince me to buy roots organic soil lol.

Do you all think i should start feeding soon, I was thinking when the 2nd set of true leaves get bigger. Also the room is so nice and big because I just have the room. It's going to be an 8x10x8 flower room, it's being used as the veg room right now, because the veg room i am going to use, hasn't been put together yet.

Thanks everyone for the help.
 
I'm also using roots organic soil, and my plants are at 3 weeks and loving it. Added a little bone meal to the mix before transplanting and still haven't had any problems.

They had a rough start because of a stupid mistake using the wrong watering bottle, but ever since i transplanted them into the roots organic soil they've been doing great.
 
It may be a genetic thing, I have a couple GHS Super Lemon Haze going right now, They are all grown in a 50/50 HappyFrog / FFOF One is normal and the other looks a lot like yours.
This first group is the messed up one and the last are the good one.025.jpg021.jpg022.jpg023.jpg024.jpg026.jpg019.jpg

These are the good one027.jpg029.jpg030.jpg028.jpg031.jpg

Thank you so much lerellion, the first group of photos looks like mine very much so!
Are the first group completely healthy, and did you do anything different than the second group?
 
Took some updated photos this morning, they grew so much in just that little time, so that is good.
At least they are growing!
The leafs are just morphing they look like, temps right now are perfect 76.4f and 49% humidity.
I am getting royal gold tupur tomorrow and i'm going to transplant into 2 gallon containers.
I'll feed them the botanicare with ro water and cal mag.
Also some of them have bigger spots now, not brown but light light green.
Almost looks like bleaching.

Everything is being vegged under a 4ft / 8 bulb t-5, they have been under that light since they popped .
