Just not working

Ok, I have planted five seeds, and I can't get the sprouts to grow. I have done alot of reading and I have watched the Mr. Green's videos and I just don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong. I have a set up just like Mr. Green. I have a drip system and I'm using general hydroponics micro, grow, bloom. I used the directions off of the bottle. The first four beans I planted sprouted I put them under lights and they didn't grow turned brown and died. The next two I planted one sprouted and it looks healthy but it is not growing. I'm feeding three times a day for fifteen minutes at a time with the dripping of the nuts just off of the plant. I have them in 4 by 4 by 4 grodan rockwhool. I started them in starter plugs and when the beans sprouted I tranfered them in to the bigger cubes. I have the light 12 inches away from the sprouts. Thank you for any information you can give me If this keeps happening I'm going to lose alot of money in beans.
 
Im feeding the sprouts when they pop up after germination. I use the shot glass method, and when I see the root I put them In starter k plugs back into the closet until they sprout. As soon as they sprout I put them under lights and I feed them the nuts

you can't be feeding babies.. you must wait. might i suggest you just start them in the plugs they might have a better chance then you using a shot glass. what kind of light do you have?
 
I use four foot flouros. here are some pics of my set up. I just moved the sprout from one starter plug to a dryer one in case I was over watering, I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I tried to follow Mr. greens advise to a tee.
