First Timer, Big Problems... Advice please!!!

Hello! I'm on my second try. Wrong lighting first time, but I now have a tent. The babies are almost two weeks. Started out great, then I had to use gnat pellets because of a small problem. Then, the leaves on one turned yellow. After reading, overwatering and possibly too much light seemed to be the problem. ( We had them on 24/7). So yesterday, we switched to 18/6- I go in there this morning and all three babies are drooping with yellow leaves on all three. We are using T5 veg lights that came with it. ( (4) 4 ft lights) we have no clue what's happening. After coming home to one completely dead in a matter of hours, I'm desperate for advice. Can't lose them all! Here are two pics from this morning... Attachment 293228Attachment 293229

is that thermometer correct? 95ºF? That could be one of your problems. there is a form to fill out so we can tell what is going on in your grow.

Troubleshooting Form

I thought the lights werent suppose to get hot? It says 95 but it doesn't feel it. Should it be laying flat like that or does I even matter? Do you think me not starting them in a small container would affect it? And thank you! Ill fill it out...

I start mine in a window box then to solo cup then 3 gallon bags.

What's the point of having a temp/hygrometer if ur not gonna use it? & hell yea, 95f is way too hot for seedlings. Is there ventilation, are you overwatering? Fill out the form & surely someone will help ya hopefully before they are doa. Peace

It came with the tent Estaban. We have a fan it there with it with the bottom vents opened. I looked at the form. I don't know what some of it means but we are using the peat rounds to start them off. I'm going to mix perlite and organic soil when I transplant. We thought overwatering might be the issue but I think it was the opposite- one if them perked back up after a watering. I'm thinking maybe since its hot, watering every other day wasn't enough. We are watering with spring water. We have gave it no nutrients. I figured at two weeks, they were still too young. I have read forum after forum and guides for beginners but they've honestly not really helped me in my opinion. Common knowledge, yes, but some go above and beyond(which I'm not ready for) or are too vague. Thanks to all who offer a tip :) if anyone has a link to a step by step process that's in normal terms please share... Also, we have really close neighbors so venting outside seems to risky for me. If I bought a small area ac for the room, would that be enough?
