Help diagnosing these sprouts

Please help me diagnose what is wrong with my plants. They are between 2-3 weeks from seed and from what I've read it's too early for nutes but I'm using an aero setup so I don't see how my plants can eat just water at this stage. I have recipe for success from technaflora but have yet to use any. I found a chart and it looks like a sulfur deficiency but I'm a noob so idk for sure. I'm wondering if I should give them some of the nutes that came in the kit that are for the transplanting stage. Any tips and help is much appreciated.

When people say that, they're assuming it doesn't take 3 weeks to get only that big. Your plants aren't growing much, but they still use nutrients, so maybe a light feeding is due. Poor lighting is likely to blame.

Using a 1k watt bulb in a fairly small area. And it sits right under the light but about 3.5 feet above the babies. I couldn't lower it cause it was an open light. I got my enclosed light installed now and put some b1 red on them. Tomorrow I'll put making my mute solution that says transplanting stage by it. It's b1 green, Route 66 and sugar daddy. The overall solution is a 2-2-2. Am I on the right track or should I jump straight to veg feeding? I know I'm only supposed to use about 1/4 of the recommended solution.

The root system has no medium so it needs feeding from the start. At least give them a foliar feed.

Awesome, thanks. Would you suggest n,p, or k based solution or should it be an even ratio of all three. I've got recip for success and there are a hunch of options. I'm not sure what will and won't burn them this early

You use veg hydro nutes high in N. Half strength at first.

Ok, and one more question. ik growing from seed and am having trouble finding any info about growing from seed with no medium. I'm wondering when I should actually start feeding them after placing my seedlings in my aero system. I'm thinking maybe after the first set of true leaves shows up. Is this right, and is here a thread somewhere on the forum about using aero rather than hydro cause the inter webs aren't really giving me what I need.

Feed them from the start. After a seedling germinates it needs nutes to live. 1/2 strength veg hydro nutes then on to full str.

I started giving them veg nutes last night after giving some time for them to perk back up with the transplanting solution. I woke up this morning and that are all lying down. It looks like damping off but I don't know for sure if that's what it is or not. I mixed my nutes at 1/4 strength after talking with the tech guy at technaflora yesterday. Could it be that they are in shock from the sudden change or am I dealing with a fungus?

they look pretty stressed out I would probly bak off on the light they got that wilted velvety look like there not rooted properly

I have to disagree, surely they seedlings will root in without any extra nutes ?

im wna wach chopper now lol
