HELP All seedlings die every time! INDOOR grow
Hi Sami! Here's "what" One/you/anybody "need's" to grow Indoor; Let's assume your space is 4X4X 76", O.K.? Optimal temp. in that space would be 82%, however; Cannabis will tolerate more/higher temp. IF; You've got a source of; CO2 (The Exhale or other). Intensity of Light? 400W minimum for that above space. I use MH and SPS Bulb's; cheaper than the newer bulb's and tested for many decades. Also use a variable; 50%, 75%, 100%; "Energy Saving Electronic Ballast"; "usually" set at 50%! why? even 75% for this Grow tent is really HOT! (Tent from GrowAce.com) my "water" is filtered thru a Zero Filter, and mixed with one simple "Feed"; "Oneness" from Humboldt Nutrients, and i do follow directions; so at week 12 i use two teaspoons per gallon. I do not "flood" (over-water) the Plants. Lastly i do NOT submit these Girl's to more than 12-14 hours of light! What happens in Nature? 24 hours of light? I think not.

HELP All seedlings die every time! INDOOR grow
It looks to be a nutrient problem. Are you adding any nutes?
When doing seeds or clones you need very little nutes till they get about 10 inches tall or so. The soil mix could possibly be too nitrogen rich. It seems to be pretty common in a lot of these potting soils. I have very good luck with Sunshine Mix 3 for cloning and seeds and then switch to Sunshine Mix 4 for flowering. The only thing I add during seeding and cloning is B12 anti stress vitamins.

Well first of all u don't need to be adding any nutes or feeds at all this early in to the satyrs of life. And those look like signs of overwatering how often do you water your plants? I water my plants every 3time to 4 days indoor and every day outdoors but temps hit up to 100babe here
