Please tell us what your setup is. How many lights, what kind of lights, how many plants?

its odd to only have one flo for 8 plants.... i would say you need more light..... but like you said it was identical to your grow before.... so who knows

6" is to far from your plants I think. Maybe they arn't warm enough either, this seems like a tough time to get seeds going unless the heat is just right and the lights! hope this helps some.

Yellowing leaves is usually a nute deficiency but they definitely need more light than one 65w.

check your ph too. PH too high or too low will cause nutrient lockout and stop your plants from growing. Lights are a huge factor as well get them closer to your girls and see if they begin to reach for it.
