Hi, I am having trouble getting beyond the seedling stage and am very frustrated. The Grow Lounge suggested I post my specs here and try to get some help in what I may be doing wrong. Basically, I can germinate and get the seeds to come up, they get a little leggy, then they stop doing anything and die off over a few days. I am dong something very wrong, but I donā??t know what. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Hereā??s what I have:

Germinated in paper towels, planted Ā¼ā? down in soil: 4parts organic soil, 2 parts perlite. I've also tried adding peat moss.

I have tried big pots, small pots, and seedling trays. All with the same luck.

Under 135W cfl for seedling stage, 6ā? above. I have a 400W MH for veg, but never get that far.

Water: PH 6.5 watered every other day or so when things seem dry.

Room Temp: 77-82

Fan blowing over the tops.

No nutes at this time, but an occasional watering with 1 drop superthrive per gallon water.
