trouble with 2 week old seedlings!Help please!!
First off, those spot lights give off more heat than usable lumens, and likely you've burned em. Old damage never repairs, so old leaves are old news.
Likely a bit of stunting going on, as changing light spectrums will stress a plant. I've never used a 1000w to grow seedlings, but for 5 plants...it's overkill, lol. 5 feet away is the outside edges of usefulness for a 1000w, but do you have an enclosed hood, or is there even glass between the bulb and the plants? (like a bat-wing or parabolic reflector) Check the "Dealing with heat issues" thread in my signature.
Do not add more nutrients, the soil has plenty for a month or two after transplant. Do not let the soil of a seedling overdry. Conversely, don't keep them saturated, either.
Filling-out the troubleshooting form and providing pix would help. Might be something other than the light. (ph issues, additives or teas...)
