Thought I'd give you fellas an update, so far so good they have grown like real troopers today really starting to make leaves now. So I think they might be outta the woods, but I try never to say never. But I got the light at 10''-12'' above the canopy and temp is 82f. with 39% humidity. I'm keeping humidity down for the next couple days till they get use to being buried deep.
To Ratzilla: To each his own bro, I agree to some extent on what you are saying soil with living creatures in it is essentially "Live Soil" and I agree that's a very good sign for some truly rich soil for growing in. But I won't the good creatures there that help my garden grow. not pythium, and fusarium, and we mustn't forget the dreaded nematodes that can only be killed by either heat or really toxic chemicals which i NEVER want on my smoke, actually never want to be around it again in my life. Big reason why I got out of the golf coarse business. so yea I sterilize my soil with heat first after being sifted and the bugs and worms set free back where the soil came from so they can work me up another good batch when its time for next crop. Then when I transplant into there final pots for the rest of veg. state, and flowering. I also wash any pots I plan to reuse for my next crop with bleach 1/4cup to a gallon of water to sanitize them it's all to prevent the spread of disease from one crop to another. I also wipe down the walls of my grow room between crops with the same bleach solution between crops, and put down a new piece of plastic on the floor. Hey everbody does things their own way do what works for you, but this is what works for me and has for years so I'll keep on and you keep doing yours your way. But don't poke fun at something you obviously know nothing of, because you weren't taught the same way I was. Instead why don't ya think about it maybe even try an experiment with it and see what happens and you may not like it, but you may learn something new and love it. IT being new or different ideas. Have a nice day man, and good growing to ya however you do it.

I just thought I'd pop in and let y'all know the girls are doing great now growing a node per day. Looking green and healthy. I truly thank you guys for your help. Also, I did find a good lighting chart, according to it the sweet spot for a 400 watt MH lamp should be 9''-13.5'' from the top of the canopy. Mine is now at 10'' and I plan to keep it within 10''-12'' from now on. I learned a good lesson. I hope somebody else will to from my mistake. Have a good 'un.
