i currently am using this temporary hydro system on a few of my seedlings but it doesnt seem to be working to well, i mean my plant are still alive but they have not really grown at all the days they have been in the system. i have them on 18 hour light 24/7 air bubbles and fan...i think it is the bubbler system. 3 of the plants look like shit and the others haven't grown at all it seems. and these 3, look pretty shitty and shribbled up... any ideas or tips, look at the pics

As you see these 4 are being grown with Pro-Mix Potting & Seedling Mix watered about..daily in regular draining pots.
