Why are my seedlings not growing

I have 3 seedlings that are almost a week above soil and they arent really growing at all. Humidity is around 60%. I have zip loc bags over them the last 2 days. Temps around 70. They are in vermiculite. They have been up for almost a week and havent really done much. They don't look bad just not growing. What is the problem?

I had the cfl that i always use right over top of them for first 4 days or so probably 6 or so inches from tops. On 18 and off 6. But then i moved them cause werent growing like i thought they should
 
I really havent watered them. I just wet the soil before i planted them and then just hit it twice a day with a spray bottle
 
Yes they have drain holes. And not 100 percent sure what the ph of this is. I dont water my plants with it. Just use in the spray bottle and every other time ive never had a problem with it.
 
Seedlings have a lot going on...especially down below the medium line (establishing a root system for starters), so be patient. More importantly you have them in vermiculite...which has zero nutritional value to lend to them. It's time to start feeding them. Otherwise, don't sweat it; they look healthy enough. Good luck.

Ya they don't look bad at all. I would lose the humidity dome though. I use them sometimes for clones, but I wouldn't for a freshly popped seed.
 
I thought they had enough to grow for a week or 2 by theirselves. I usually use a different soil but the store didnt have it anymore. I'll try giving them something. I have fox farm trio for nutes. They look healthy just arent growing much but im sure they will be fine
