Please help, i have 5 new seedlings that have a purple stem and one leaf that is also purple. The purple leaves are leaning inward and are dying. The lights are on all the time and about 6 inches away, air is circulated and soil is neutral. I also added root stimulator to advance growth but im confused on whats happening to them. Can anyone help???

Well i cant figure out how to post pics, but 4 seeds have straightened out and are green again but there is one that has one leaf dead and it turned greyish purple b4 it died. The other leaf on the seedling is starting to curl up longways so idk if i should take it out of the dome to isolate it or to just leave it alone

why r they still in a humidity dome? once they have broken ground & are up the need FRESH air, so ditch the dome.

It's called damping off which is caused by overwatering and too much humidity. Seedlings are really fragile and need special attention until they're strong enough to handle stress.
