It's hard to see the pod leaves. Are they burned at all? How long has the problem been going on? Were they healthy and green when they were younger?

It could be that your water is turning the soil sour (aka over watering). It might also be that your lights are to close and are burning the plants but seeing that you are using "3 20Watt CFL'S and 2 4Ft 38Watt fluro tubes" this is highly doubtful.

How often do you water your plants and on what sort of light cycle are they?

You're probably over watering.

Allow the soil to go dry, saturate, then dry, then saturate. Adding a little bit of water every day, or just not enough for run off, is likely a contributing issue. The soil is probably a little hot as well. It will pull through in time. Just get your watering habits resolved and make sure you are pH balancing everything you add to the soil.

I don't find low humidity to be all that much of an issue. So long as it is over 20%.
If you really want to, humidifiers are like $10 at Rite-Aid or you can use a tray of water for the extra evaporation. Try to keep your temperature a little lower as well to help keep the rh as high as you can.

lol. stick my finger in the soil.

Lift the planter. You can feel the weight of the water. When the planter is dry it will be very light when you lift it up. Then you saturate to run off.

Another good investment is a Moisture Meter at Lowes for $6.00. Use it to see when your plant needs water and it will help you learn how to read your plants when it comes time for another watering.

Intresting, if problem consists the plants definitly have a viral disease..that means scrap em clean everything good and start again friend , but most likely water habits at the moment better luck in the future!

Could it be that the soil is to strong for the plants im using John innes no2, because the plants are only 2 week old ??

You stated you haven't fed with nutes yet, but what kind of medium/soil are you using ?
Unless your soil is adequately supplimented, it's time to start feeding nutes by the time they are 2 weeks old.
They also yellow from "eating" themselves if they don't have enough food in the medium.
