Weird very weird , 75% RH at the moment you say , whats the air system in the room like?
Bad airflow with that could easily cause Pythium/Botrytis/Fusarium fungi to attack the seedlings , not an expert but with all the other stuff youve tried and had success before its :/
Noticed you PH your water as well , I never ever do that , those alkalis and acids are not good for the soil (should self regulate itself through a grow cycle , at least biobizz all mix does)

Looks to me like a medium/feed issue or light burn (bleaching) overwatering? With high rh your medium wont dry out very fast at all.

something is seriously wrong...i would trash every fucking thing in that room, everything that can't be soaked in bleach. get rid of that soil, get rid of those pots, get the fuck rid of everything, then disinfect the whole room, twice...clean your lights, clean everything, twice....get new nutes...get a new thermometer and hygrometer and check them daily...get a new ph meter and test solution, and check it at least every two weeks...
you can throw a handful of seeds down a hill in spring and come back in the fall and get something...something is seriously fucked up in that room...and it won't quit till you find it and fix it

and seriously...he say this is good, that's good, this is in range, that's just fine....well something is wrong...wanna spend months changing things one by one till you figure it out?
his ph is in range...the temps are good....rh is a little high but acceptable...he got a new light, tried it, went back to the old light, still the same problem....tried different soils...has used tap and bottled water....
kind of running out of options....
OP, checked your ph meter? have a bottle of test solution? or the little packs to mix in ro water? cheap ph meters drift off target badly...i quit using them, and just use the drops...i've learned the color i want for coco, and my plants seem happy...

I agree with shrubber. there is no way on earth all them different things could ALL produce same results. trash everything. i guess you got all bad seeds ? im not sure but i never seen anything like it. I guess you could collect air from your room and send it to the lab? or have the lab come to you. pissed off the ol lady lately ? my only opinion is tampering.

I have been going through the grow medium with a magnifying glass.
No insects, doesnt seem to have any fungal growth either.
Just nice loose black soil..

Yupz no issue with the grow medium,
Water is fine,
Temp is good,
Led lamp is good.
Ph meters were re calibrated just before this grow, sent it to Hanna Instruments office to get them tuned.
The only thing I can think of now is the air quality.
I live nearby the sea, there is a tangy salty smell in the room.
So the past 2 days, windows are open, fans are blowing, exhaust is running full time.

Are there other plants that are green and healthy indoors and out in the care of others where you live?
If yes I wouldn't think the air is a problem unless it was something in your house creating the air problem.

Your persistence is admirable! This gives you some nice variables to try plus a rooftop plant sounds like an awesome idea!

Anyway they have been stored in a fridge, seeds germinate in 24-36 hours.
This has been driving me nuts for the past 3 months.
I have started more than 30 seeds to identify the problem.
PH, room temp, humidity, water quality, soil quality.
How hard is it for a man to be self sufficient in medicine?
