Sprouts dying please help.

Newbie Grower here and i'm very puzzled to why my sprouts keep dying. I first started with two white widow and 2 ak-48. I soaked all four in a shot glass and when they sank to the bottom i put them in pre soaked 3" rockwool cubes. All Sprouted and looked healthy except for one white widow with purple stem. I assume since i didn't have a ph tester at the time that my Ph may have been to high. More to the point The two healthiest keeled over and died in probably 5 hours after looking extremely healthy. I have one 24W CFL light spreading over the 4 sprouts for the time being. Sure enough a week later the one stunted sprout started looking healthy and BAM! 5 hours later literally shriveled up dead. I watered it about 8 hours before it died. I kept them in a humidity dome the entire time and that is where they died.

First get rid of the humidity dome, it's gonna keep your soil too wet too long. Next what type of soil are you using?

Too far from light & fell over trying to reach it ? more info please . . .

Your soil might be hot, you might be overwatering...

I think one of my plants may have done this but the others ones would of had no need to. The light is about 2 inches away max. The one pattern i saw was that when i watered they looked good than just fell right over.

my soil is fox ocean farm and lightwarrior one to one mix. i may be over watering them but i tried to avoid this. i usually give them water every other day or depending on how dry the rockwool cube is

I know that ffof is a little strong for seedlings, does light warrior have food added to it? You should try germin' your seeds in promix, ALOT easier...

I'll have to give that a try. Right now i germinated two more in the rockwool cubes and they look worse than the others. I'll hopefully get this right in the next 4 seeds. . Thank you for replying in such a timely manner, makes this learning process quicker.
