Plants look sick!

Ok, obviously I'm new at this, but I have done all the the homework I thought I needed. I have been having trouble from day 1...after germination. Here's a list of what I got:

10 gal. res. (grey) ---- 5 gal full.
(6) 3" net pots
(6) starter cubes (tree bark...idk)
Hydroton clay pellets
Air pump with 6" air bar
160 gph water pump with 6 outlet manifold with water lines going to the side bttom of each net pot for water.
(2) 24" 5600k t12 bulbs
General Hydroponics grow, micro, bloom
*Lights are running 24 hrs a day and I'm on day 14...after germination
*Air and water pumps are running 24 hrs. also.
*PH is about 6.0-6.5



The problem is my plants just look sick to me. Two died, my fault, but the rest have curling leaves, one has brown edges, one has wilting leaves, and one is growing SLOW! As you can see from the pictures the big one seems to be doing great...I'm lost. Also The starter plugs and the hydroton has some kind of white stuff on them. I used a fungicide once, but and worried to use any more.

ok, i turned my pumps off. What watering interval would you recommend for my setup. I bought a basic timer, just haven't hooked it up yet.

what kind of system are you running? I'd do something like 15-25 mins on, 3-4 times a day during the light hours, and off during the dark
