Sprouts dying please help.

Newbie Grower here and i'm very puzzled to why my sprouts keep dying. I first started with two white widow and 2 ak-48. I soaked all four in a shot glass and when they sank to the bottom i put them in pre soaked 3" rockwool cubes. All Sprouted and looked healthy except for one white widow with purple stem. I assume since i didn't have a ph tester at the time that my Ph may have been to high. More to the point The two healthiest keeled over and died in probably 5 hours after looking extremely healthy. I have one 24W CFL light spreading over the 4 sprouts for the time being. Sure enough a week later the one stunted sprout started looking healthy and BAM! 5 hours later literally shriveled up dead. I watered it about 8 hours before it died. I kept them in a humidity dome the entire time and that is where they died.:-?

First get rid of the humidity dome, it's gonna keep your soil too wet too long. Next what type of soil are you using?

Too far from light & fell over trying to reach it ? more info please . . .
I think one of my plants may have done this but the others ones would of had no need to. The light is about 2 inches away max. The one pattern i saw was that when i watered they looked good than just fell right over.

Your soil might be hot, you might be overwatering...
my soil is fox ocean farm and lightwarrior one to one mix. i may be over watering them but i tried to avoid this. i usually give them water every other day or depending on how dry the rockwool cube is

I know that ffof is a little strong for seedlings, does light warrior have food added to it? You should try germin' your seeds in promix, ALOT easier...

I'll have to give that a try. Right now i germinated two more in the rockwool cubes and they look worse than the others. I'll hopefully get this right in the next 4 seeds. :). Thank you for replying in such a timely manner, makes this learning process quicker.
