12 day old buddah assorted autos. WHATS WRONG?

sorry about the huge sized pictures. Here is the gist of it all. I'm using 600 watt MH. 3 Gallon pots with Gardeners pride all purpose soil. they are only 12 days old and they've stopped growing, whilst the leaves are turning a bright green/yellow. also the stems are purple. I watered once I planted the germinated seed until the pot overflowed a bit and then didn't water for a week. PLEASE HELP!

Think you should have started in a smaller pot, sounds like you now have overwatering issues. Not had this issue myself before so not entirely sure what best. Maybe try H202 to oxygenate the soil, but I am concerned about young age of plants.

thank you for the quick reply. I have two others started that ive used much less water that was aerated by a pump. I shall see where those get, so far no discoloration and much less purple in the stem. Does anyone have an opinion on the assorted auto package from Buddah seeds?? maybe they're bunk

I was thinking the light is a bit close also. raised it to 20 inches. please give your opinions. will post more pictures soon.

Here my setup. the back two are 12 days. the front are 5 days and looking a lot greener, without the dark purple stems. the temperature is between 77-84 F
