So these seedlings are approx 2 weeks old from the first time they popped outside of the soil and about 3 weeks old from the time I soaked the seeds in water. Seems like they're both growing wicked slow for me. Any ideas as to why?

Happy Helen, though slow growing, looks pretty healthy imho, but Sick Sally has this weird color to her leaves all of a sudden and it seems to have happened as soon as I added a warm light bulb into the grow closet.

The soil is an organic seedling soil with equal parts soil, worm castings and perlite. First week I watered them with distilled water 1 oz each day with the third day getting 1 oz of superthrive at 1tsp to 1 gallon distilled water. Second week they have been getting 2oz each day of distilled water and 2 oz of superthrive mixture at 1tsp to 1 gallon distilled water.

Sick Sally's ph is steady at 7 and Happy Helen is at a wee nudge below 7.

Temps in the room stay steady at 80 degrees and 60% humidity. I have a small fan blowing at them at all times to strengthen the stem. The lights are 6 26 watt daylight cfl's with the 1 added 23 watt warm light bulb.

Like I said the leaves started turning when I added the warm light but maybe that is a coincidence? The lights are about 2 inches I guess from the top of the leaves.

Any thoughts?
You dont want to give them any nutes the first couple weeks that means no superthrive. The fox farm soil is okay I start out all my seedlings using it i just dont use any ferts the first few weeks. Try and get your humidity down to 45% 60 is way to high and try and get your temps down to about 77 that will help them out a lot. Other than that keep up the good work.:rasta::rastasmoke:imp:
