Problem here with my WW Auto seedlings

Hello guys.

So, let's start. Have 2 White Widow Auto seedlings in soil now for 11 days (germinated straight in soil). When seedling appeared I put them under my 250w Dual Spectrum HPS, didn't keep them very close and they seemed to love it and grow was good for, let's say, week. And then they just almost started to stop. They grow, but only a liitle bit, day after day and nothing significant really happens. Except one bad thing. First true leaves begun to yellow and dry and now are almost died. Also they're curled. Other true leaves and new leaves are quite droopy and I just don't know why.

I'm using organic soil with no ferts in it (just only a tiny amount of natural ones) and water them every 4-5 days when few inches of soil are dry (it seems bottom never dries up, it's almost always wet). Didn't use any ferts yet. Just a plain water. Temperature is between 24-28. When I leave the window open in other room the temperature usually stays 24 at day and at night it raises to 28 max., but more often stays somewhere between 26.5-27. I have two oscilating fans, also two pc coolers blowing air in growroom and I keep the door a bit opened (this way some of the hot air blown by oscilating fans leave the room). Air circulation I think it's not the worst and temperatures are quite good too.

Here are some pictures. As you see, seedlings are quite small and droopy, also you can use those two first leaves dying. And one picture of my room. Sorry for bad quality.

P.S. Other leaves has a good green color.Attachment 288999Attachment 289000Attachment 289001

first thing i would do is get them outta that soil. they should start in seed starter or soil with no fert until they get a little bigger.
You need to pull them out, get as much of that soil off as you can with damage to the roots and replant them in soil that wont burn them down.
although as small as they are...... did you pay a lot for the seeds? if not id start over. otherwise youre gonna have baby the crap outta them to get them back.
I had something similar with some i started not too long ago. i had to replant them too didnt think they were gonna make it but they are so far.

next time...don't start seedlings in such a large container. (Those look like 4 gallon waste baskets?)

These are 3 gal. pots. I've read that it's better to start auto seedlings in their final container, so I followed this... And yep, maybe I've made a mistake.

you can probably save them. this what mine looked like when they were really ill and what they look like today.
they still have some yellow lower leaves and will prob drop a few more but they are growin like raped apes again.
they are close to a month and half old but got stunted from the soil problem.

Thank you. Your's are looking great!
Mine's don't look like they're going to die now and those dead leaves (almost dead) are just two first real leaves. Others don't show any signs of yellowing and drying up. Probably I'll give them a time and see what happens. It's the best I can do now. Just wanted to know what exactly they didn't like. And... Some good news. The normal leaves looking a bit healthier. I mean they doesn't look such droopy now. What about the soil I'm using, I think it's good. A lot of growers here are growing with this stuff (it's light organic soil) and it looks great, so I can't believe that the problem is in the soil. Actually I'm slightly confused about what happens..

Well, here are the news. Another pair of true leaves are curling and turning yellow... Dying. Plant is growing and has some good looking new leaves, but very slowly something bad is happening.
