i'm growing 1 plant under 2 flourescents one red one blue in a 1 cubic ft black container wit holes in the bottom i have 2 oscilating fans in the room running keeping the tempature at a good 85 degrees. the medium is jst a normal planting soil and i water it every 24 hours i lowered the pH wit veinegar so the water smells kind of vinegary.... the plant sprouted but right away where the 2 false leafs it started to bend the leaves are yellowish and it looks like its gonna die soon... i germinated the seed for about 4 days before i planted it.... where'd i go wrong?

I don't know what you mean by one red and one blue? You should use 100 watt CFLs marked "daylight".

85 F is on the high end for indoor growing.... can you get the temp down to 80 or less?

Watering every day? I think that's too much in soil

You lowered your PH but you didn't say from what to what???
