I'd say, as a guess, are the leaves all drooping down? Like in a rams horn? If they aren't today - were they at some point? In my experience, a slow growing plant in conditions such as you've stated is only caused by either the plant being shocked (such as during a transplant, rip out roots) or dampening (watering when plant did not require it, drowning it). Both will cause the plant to stop growing and basically go into 'shock' for a week or even two... add that up and you got your delays.
Ar 2 feet your lights are too far up at this time. You can lower them to probably 12-14". I'd also get a mh bulb if you're gonna veg for a long time. You can tell they are low as the plants nodes are stretched out. I would have kept them in the small cups till they were juts abut root bound. This way you'll have a much harder time over watering the plants. Also can't tell because of the light what color the plants re but they look malnourished.
