Watering 3 times a day? Not sure what your soil setup is, but that's a lot of watering. They don't look over watered though. What are you using for soil?

yup nute burn and stretch. If you grow hydro you have to have 2 things a ph meter and appm meter otherwise you can not grow hydro as you need those measurments daily. They get slightly out of range and your done. they are must haves for hydro growing. Not sure but hope those arent under a hps or hid at that size yet also as thats too much light for that little of plants.

this small you want no hid light yet. Use florescent shop lights or T5 lights or dare I say it gulp cfls(which I hate with a passion). the intensity is way to much and if you are not monitoring the ph which should be kept at 5.5 - 5.8 then just give up. You also must i say must know your ph when giving nutes and then monitor the levels to know what your plant is eating and drinking so you can adjust. If you dont know the ppm flux your done

you can use any light you want at any age. Its not the light thats doing that damage. Its either pH, N, or high heat

when you use nutes you need to start out at 1/4 strength. So instead of the 1tsp (5mL) it should be a 1/4tsp (little more than 1mL).

And you only want to use nutes when you know the plant is ready for them. They need to establish a good root system first. Once you feed with nutes for about 2 or 3 weeks you can up the dosage to half strength. Your plant may have nute-lockout, which means the roots are damaged to the point where its hard for them to suck up the water and nutes, and they eventually end up dieing. I say start flushing with just plain pH'd water for a little bit and see what happenes.

about 12-14 inches. If you put your hand right over the plant and its uncomfortably warm then you need to move the light up.
