they look good but they are probly working on growing roots right now i would assume but they should start getting tall and get more leaves and start branching

Seedlings are focusing on root growth so you don't see much up top vegetation for a while. Once the roots have grown a bit below soil.... the growth up top will start to happen.
The waiting is definitely the hardest part....

just move ur 400 mh about 10 inches away
I'm in the exact same boat... and its really buggen me out! I think its nothing to do with your light... keep it closer so they dont stretch.
my babies are in the same stage as your children, with close to zero growth for like 10 days.
They hatched, grew first set of leaves and just froze. I've seen minuscule growth since.
I figure they're allright cause they're not dead... but my cactus's have been growing faster then this.
They better being growing a SUPERB root system hahaha
I do find slight comfort im not alone... either we are poor parents, or are children are 'special'

It has to be the plants. these are dutch passion seeds. And whats frustrating is that they started off so nice and now this. This is my first time buying seeds im sick of going to the clubs and buying strains that turn hermaphrodite. I figure you cant go wrong buying them. But im doing everything right. Sufficient lighting, soil, temp, co2, PH etc. Ive got it covered. But I havnt tested the run off. I'lltest when I water them next.

We think they're pot-bound. You wouldn't believe how many plants we've had to transplant due to them being pot-bound. They just stop growing...
Here's our plant at 12 days old, which would be the same as yours. I think you should probably just transplant them into a bigger pot and see what happens. Our plants are usually okay after a transplant if they're small. Hope we could help, good luck!

root bound!? I dont think mine are even 3 inches tall. how could they have that big of a root system and be so small.
Your saying during this whole time these seedlings have been growing roots? I cut big holes in the styrfoam cup so ill check them out to see if theres any roots pokin out.
