no i dont check the ph.. light was about 15inchs away but then had sings of burning/ top of the sprout went brown so i put it 30inchs away now the first 2 leaves r still green but dieing/ folding in on its self... the pot is 20 by 12 by 9 inchs deep 2 plants and now the other plant is starting 2 do the same thing...temp is 34c. light it said on the box (G95 globe 240v b22 bc soft white 100w)
well one thing is that is a [SIZE=-1]gas-filled [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]incandescent light thes are bad for plants and let of alot of heat. I use 1 CFL 100Watt Daylights to start off my little ones seams to work reall good and cheap on the electric bill and i start up to 4 plants on one light so try CFL lighting or T5's thes 2 lights are cheap if you dont have the money for the MH and all them high end 400watters

Yeap you are cooking those little plants. Always test your ph levels (this is a must for healthy plants). Keep your grow room no more then 85 degrees (at the most). Do you have a fan blowing on your plants? You need something to help circulate the air. One plant per pot. What kind of soil are you using? What kind of fertilizers? Start your fertilizer at 1/4 strength not full strength.

No fertilizer until it's a month old. The light should be about a foot away if the plant it only two days. But Franky you need to answer my questions at the beginning of this post. I need to know where you are at.

Naw moogie will help when at least a decent amount of info is supplied
P.S.
Franky. you said you had osmocote in your soil. if you can change this - do it now. if not you're in for a rough grow, like i was and still am. slow release ferts dont satisfy your plants and it's hard to add ferts without nute burning them. i've barley made it but my plants are strong. don't use this in the future. if they are small and you can still transplant i would.

What we have here a failure to see what is really taking place.
1. Get CFL or other type of florescent.
2. Cool lights means you can place 2-3" above seedlings. Right now your light is to hot and killing them.
3. Water lightly without the nutes for first 2 weeks, and use ph balanced (6.2-6.5) water.
4. Use fan to cirulate air around seedlings to help make their stalks stronger and to help get Co2 & O2 flowing across them.
