Personally I feel your girls are working on their rooting structure. Maybe raise your lights more... I don't think your soil is hot. Kind soil is a good soil to use. Keep doing what you are doing. As far as light leak, you don't need to worry about that in veg. stage, until you are in flower stage and you change your lights to a 12/12 schedule....all that being said, if this plant is a photo. If it's auto, 18/6 the entire life of the girls.
