Quick sprout question

My White Widow seeds sprouted just the other day and have now formed its 2 sets of leaves. My problem, however, is that the leaves appear to be leaning more towards a whitish green and they are drooping as well.

My lighting is 150 watts of flourescent and 150 watts of MH

Could this be sunburn? or maybe something else?

could be yellowing to too many nutrients or sunburn... my GOD that's a lot of light. You only need a fluorescent light rated at 100 watts at that age(even that is slight overkill). You could probably even get away with one rated at 75 watts at that age while still getting maximum growth. Use only one of those lights, it'll save you electricity and fix the burn if that is what it is.

haha yeah i knew i should have just turned on the CFL's during sprouting. But i'll try that out and see if the leaves get any better.

Thanks Redeflect

Sorry, I misread that. If the leaves are just pale then it could be just how they are... and the drooping may be under watering or over watering(diagnosing a plant that early is hard). And of course it could still be the lighting which you should still take down a notch.

My guess at probable causes would be:

1.Too much light
2.over watered
3.nothing wrong at all
4.under watered

well it is grown through hydroponics so i dont think it would be due to overwatering or underwatering.

But i'll post an update after a day or two to see if it doesn't get better.
