Ruh Roh Shaggy...Slow grow & yellow

See attached pics for reference (no flash, just MH grow light bulb). I've done a few grows with 4 x T5 fluorescent bulbs with no problem. My new light is 250W dual use (HPS & MH) and I can't seem to get the girls going. I've started them in jiffy pots and then into a coco self watering system. Nutes are the same as I've used before with good results. So, the only difference is the lights. I've had them on 24/7 (like I did with the fluoros) but I turned them down to 18/6 (just yesterday) because I thought it might be that the new light is bleaching out the leaves with too much light, and I moved the light a little higher. Is it possible they are over watered? They just look so yellow compared to what the first grow with the same seeds was. These are Bubba Kush feminized seeds and the second time I've grown them. First was a good outcome, but with the old lighting system. These plants have been growing for 2 1/2 weeks and they look to be 1/2 of the size they should be. So, they are stunted growth, yellowing and the bottom leaf you can see possible burn on it. I normally let my water sit a day or 2 so the additives dissipate, but I left the water sit for about 10 days, would sour water be a possibility too? Any suggestions?
