thats your problem your using nutes way to early dude!! its jus burning those babys up!! flush the soil till water is seeping out the bottom of the pot an see how the they get on...you really dont need to fert until 3 - 4 weeks into vegative growth hope u can save em in time!

Aside from feeding to early, You might also want to give those plants some rest time - they do have some sort of genetic integrated to anticipate nightfall and darkness... Suggested time is 18/6 but I think you could sneek with 20/4 if you want to force 'em to grow.

I would start over again...and don't fertilize until you are a few weeks into veg....also...do not overwater...seedlings can go days without water and then only a little bit around on the perimeter of the pot..this will force the roots to grow and search for water...
Overwatering and early fert will get you every time.
good luck..peace

i think its ok, i fertilize since they are young like yours, and mine grow like magic beans! soon in a trip ill be able to visit a gigant in the sky! lol!
Its ok, maybe the light is too close to the plants and its buring them, if the light gets too hot and its too close, you are just burining the tips... + give them some dark, thats better for them.
Oh and something else, when you put the fertilizer in, dont spray the plant, and watch the fetilizer that dosnt touches the plant, only the soil.
Keep the growing man!

imo, too much ferts. i start my seeds in ferts, but i use 8-7-6 liquid and dilute it 1/2 strengh. the ferts. do help them start out on the right foot. i once experimented with some seeds soaked in ferts, and others only soaked plain water. i conducted this test because many people say NO ferts during the seedling stage, but i found the ferts. gave the plants a nice headstart.

The fan is usefull if they are in a tight place, with no ventilation. but if they are in a closet, and they are so small, you dont need a fan, the fan is for ventilation, (if they consume all the CO2 of a room, you need a fan to move that air, and get some CO2) but i dont think you need a fan at all...just dont put the lights too close man, you are gonna burn them....
