Hydro seedlings are struggling

Hi,

I am growing 3 seedlngs in Rockwool Cubes and 2 of them appear to be struggling, any idea why? The roots are just now coming out of the bottom of the Rockwool.

Tank - 6 gallons
PH - 6.0
Nitrogen - A little high
Phospherous - In line
Potassium - In line
Heat - 80 Degrees
Humidity - 40%
Lights - 400W MH
Light Distance to Plants - 28"
Note: Due to air cooled lights, there is no heat on the plants

Ferts:
Just over 1/8th strength
6 Gallons of Water
2 tsp FF Grow Big (Hydro Formula)
2 tsp FF Big Bloom
2 tsp Cal-Mag

Strains:
LowRider2
Blue Mystic
Bubblegum

Order of Pictures:
I was messing around cleaning out my tank and got the net pots mixed up, now I don't know for sure which plant is which, lol. But I think this is the correct order.

LowRider2
Blue Mystic
Bubblegum

I am puzzled as to why the Cotyledon leaves are curling down on the last two plants.

Thanks!

it looks like they're acually doin ok, no discoloration or noticable wilting, most of the time when small plants are put into a hydro grow they endure a small amount of stress but then shoot up, just make sure the roots are growing down through the net pots and youll be great, if they werent already in there i'd say wait a little until you transplant so more roots are exposed but i think ur gunna b ok =]

Why are you running nutrients?

The last one looks like it's getting burned.
