Happy New Year bro!Are you feeding them any nutes yet?Looks like overwatering plus they could do with some vegging nutes at 1/4 strength or get some root juice by Biobizz(It's specially formulated for seedlings and cuttings) and give it full strength.If you're worried about overwatering,you can buy a water meter on Ebay for under £5(i'm a UK grower).You put the probe in the soil and it tells you whether it's wet,dry or moist.I had the same problems when i started but the meter lets you know exactly when the girls are thirsty.If you don't want to trust a meter,feel the weight of the pot and compare it to a pot of dry soil.When my girls are that small, I never give them more than half a small cup full of water per day(250ml),don't give them ultra cold water cos it might shock them.I don't drench the soil cos the roots have to breath and take in oxygen and if they need more, i'll give them more when they need it.
I use Biobizz Biogrow as a veg nute but that's because I combine it with using Biobizz Allmix as a growing medium but i'm sure other growers will recommend other veg nutes depending on what medium you're using.
Good luck man,they'll recover in a few days.Laters!!
