Im not sure where the seeds came from, but will try to find out.

I dont think its a soil issue but couldnt be 100% about it. Apart from picture 2 and picture 3 were two identically treated plants. Both germinated the same in soil. Both came up out of the soil the same day, and both had normal first leaves (whatever they are called, lol). It all looked wrong as the 2nd leaves appeared, though for a short while i continued to treat them identically.

When i realised 1 wasnt going to do much, i just left it on my windowsill. The other one has had most of its time under cfl's, but the last 5 days under a 600w hps. The pics will show the difference, lol..

It wasnt 40% germinated Stinky, they all germinated. It was 40% of the 5 germinated that ended up normal

Pic 1, the one that survived.
Pic 2 and 3, the other one, lol..

They are both the same age, but for the last 3 weeks, the nice one had special treatment
