Hey mingles, don't think there's much you can do to save your plant i'm afraid, it looks beyond saving to me. But don't give up, it just takes a while to figure out where your going wrong and fix it, just keep trying, it gets easier. Right now to try and figure out what went wrong. From a couple of things you said like "pan has maintained water at all times though" and "my soil had started turning green " leads me to believe you've been overwatering. When they're just starting out they can't take up much water so water them with that in mind, you probably only need give them 1/8th of a pint twice a week for the first few weeks. You've not said what your temps are either, thats something that you really need to know, so if you've not got a thermometer already, get one! It might be too cold for them in your basement. Oh and don't worry about not getting many replies, i started a thread a few days ago and nobody's replied! Think it's just like you said, there's so many new threads each day you can't be arsed replyin to them all.
Hope this helps, peace :rasta:
