Hempy cups stalling?? Help please.

I popped 16 beans from Sannie's Shop- strains are Herijuana, Anesthesia, Jackberry, and El Monstre. Growing in a 4x4 Secret Jardin Tent, under 4- 23 watt 2700k cfls, 2- 27 watt 6500k cfls, and one 40 watt 6500k cfl, hanging about 3 inches above plants.. Maybe this is not enough light for the young seedlings? I also have a 1000W HPS ready to go when they can handle it.

Germinated seeds in Root Riot cubes 9/26. Plants grew about an inch, saw roots coming out of the bottom. transplanted to Hempy Solo Cups with 90% Coco, 10% Perlite on 10/3. Seedlings now seem to have stopped growing, but they dont seem to be dying. A couple of the plants developed brown spots/tips which i believe was due to no air movement/humidity, and placed a fan in grow area. (I could see condensation building up on the inside of the cups). A few plants are also curling slightly, and all the plants seem to looking a bit better after placing the fan last night. I also think I may have overwatered them initially, and haven't watered in about 36 hours. They are showing their first true set of leaves, one seems to be *slowly* growing the second.

Any ideas on why they stopped growing? Maybe I shocked them in the transplant? Can take pics if needed. Any ideas welcome, thanks.

Start using that 1,000hps, I use my 1kHPS for vegging and flowering. It costs more to run than the others but the quick growth is worth it.
 

keep it real.

yea that amount of cfl is fine as long as the light stays by the plants and is not submersed among the whole room.
