looks like very low humidity and the HPS to close to the seedlings... 600w at very beginning should be 3-4feet away...

For 600W without a cooltube 20-24inches would usually be fine, but for seedlings I recomend to put them 4 feet away, and during about 3 weeks slowly reduce the distance to a little less than 2 feet and keep it there unless your reflector and your ventilation permit you to go even closer... Seedlings more than older veging Plants need high air humidity, close to hot bullbs the humidity usually is very low, you should also hang a wet t-shirt or something else into you closet to rise the humidity, as more humidity you can get than better
