Seedling leaves turning yellow and curling up. Need advice, please. With PICS.

Thanks. I had the CFLs about an inch away from their little tops at first then moved them about 2 inches away. They never stretched so I thought that was a good distance. Since I have moved the lights farther away, there hasn't been any more yellowing (hasn't been any less either). Maybe I will bring them up another inch or so. I just wish they would start growing again.

I am also feeding/watering 4 times per 24 hours. 3 times with lights on, once with lights off. Each sessions is 30 minutes. Should I back off to 3 times per 24 hours?

i am using coco drain to waste 7 gal pots, i run the drip 1 min 4x a day. the last watering is 2 hours before lights off. you want the root zone to be moist not wet. hth

Wow, that is much lower than what I am feeding. I will back off and see if that helps. Thank you!!

*Update*

There has been a little growth in the leaves but the roots look like they are shriveling up. Should I raise the water line so that the roots are in the water? Both plants have roots that are about 2 inches long but they have't reached the water yet. I could raise the water level so that the roots are in the water but I am not sure if this will help. Also my new leaves are kind of yellow. I am feeding 1/4 Nutes of GH Flora series. These plants are 15 days old (from sprouting). Also, my temps have been 82-88 the past few days. I am having a hard time keeping the temp down. I have been putting cups of ice in there but they I have to change them every hour or so. Are these guys too young for a little CO2?

Please Help! Roots are not growing. The 2 inches that were there are shriveling up. Should I raise the water line in the res so that the little roots are submerged? Will this help them grow?

Also, are these plants too young for a little CO2?

Leaves are continueing to yellow and very slow to grow. There has been no root growth either. I think they are hungry. I also dripped some clonex over the rockwool cubes. Does anyone have any comments or suggestions to fix these little ladies?

Picture update!
The ladies are doing much better. They both have new, pearly white root growth and new leaves. There is a little yellowing in the leaves which might be due to some deficiency but at least they aren't getting burned! They are at day 29 from sprouting in the pictures.

So what solved your problem? Was it the clonex?
