Too hot and intense lighting at this stage for the age and condition they are in , put them back under cfls where the temps are below 75.Give them a week under the cfls and see if they pick up, put them back under the 400 at about 4 weeks..

Take pics with cell phone, transfer to computer. Once that is done hit icon for insert pics. You will have to know which files pics are in.

Don't give them nutrients until they get bigger. If they are yellowing, this could also be nutrient burn. Most likely though, the strength of your lights is damaging the chlorophyll in the plant cells.

as u can see in the pic they are very small and the codyledon leaves turned yellow and curling down and the true leaves turning a really pale green on few of the plants :( the temps in the room is around 82f and humidity floats around 40/50 i have the lights on 18hrs and off 6hrs i have a oscilating fan blowing in the room at all times. i would go and buy sum cfl,s but lack of funds is stopping me lol so im stuck with 400w hps any info on this problem would be amazing and thanks again for replys :)

Your soil looks like it isn't draining properly, and you will need to seperate them before to long or they will get married under the soil and will be a death when we part scenario. When you do transplant, make sure you add around 30% perlite to the mix to aid in drainage.

Peace and Great Grows
