on my 3rd wave of seeds doing 2-3 plants at a time (have some good bag seeds i'm starting with, rather not waste bought seeds as i'm a newbie at this)
soil: burpee seed starting mix
light : 6 cfl 6500ks 18/6 cycle
got the soil damp before i put the germinated seeds in plastic cups with cut 2 ltr bottles over the top. Well my first problem was they kept falling over and looked shriveled from what i read it was because my lights were to far so ive moved them from 3-5 inches and this time around 2 popped the surface in 24 hours and sprouted up later that day. For the next 2 days they still had moist soil and looked great! but out of no were there first set of spiked leaves started to shrivel and now they both have fallen over. Again i am a total newbie at this, been searching the web for the past 2 days to figure what keeps going on.
Also i keep a fan going in there lightly blowing on them and the 2 conclusions i've made are the cups didn't dry out fast enough because there still pretty damp 1in below the surface or its to hot in there, its a closet grow...
