How close do you have them to the lights? What's the pH of the water? pH of the soil? what type of soil are you using?

Hello.. Your plants look over watered.. I'd suggest not over/under watering them.. small plants need small water.. Good luck.

No water at all until those cubes dry out a little. You can see in all the pics the cubes look "soggy". You are looking to have the cubes moist but light. With a little experience you will get the idea. Make sure they are in a warm place, temp between 75 and 80 with a humidity of around 40%-50%. For the time being all you can do is be patient and let them dry a little. Overwatering is the no1 newbie mistake. You need to make the plant grow roots at this stage to feed itself, giving it too much water makes plants lazy. If it doesnt have to spend energy on growing roots because of an abundance of water, it wont grow them, the bigger and better the root mass, the better the plant. Dont worry about this unduly, I am sure they will recover with a little patience. Breen mojo my friend. W

I like to start my seeds in rock wool or light warrior depending on how your goin' to be growing:clap:What nutrients you'll be using:?:I would transplant into whatever your growing in soon as possible:lol:Are you using ph and ppm meters:?:I would think about using some bagseeds once or twice cause their's a huge learning curve:lol:

get those little ones closer to the light, or else they're gonna stretch and leave you with weak wispy stems. And like the others have said, let those jiffy plugs dry out before watering again. I use those plugs as well and only have to water them two or three times a week.

They looked soaked. May even be dampening off, let them dry out! And in jiffy pellets even sprouts could use a little food. Awesome Blossoms 2-11-11 at a rate of 1/2 tsp per gal of water and a couple of drops of Superthrive is what I use to soak my pellets in. P and K are very important in the early stages for root developement and cell division...

Thats a great idea, i am going to use the fox farm trio nutrients, so i should transfer them what they are in a jiffy pellet to a bigger pot now? yeah i am using the ph meters.

i was also wondering should i keep them in a humidity dome or take off the dome?

Try to get the lights right in there, within a few inches.
You are good to leave the dome off at this point. They should have good enough roots by now, and those jiffy plugs are prone to mold under a dome.
