Could be over watering, or a lack of light.

or both...

i just built a grow box, and have a dual 2' bulb fl lamp on hand (no bulbs yet..) i plan on puttin the plants in the box soon when i get the bulbs, but cant til i get paid

box is 4x4x1 with computer fans on either side (intake and outtake) and lined the inside with foil, but iv heard foil is bad so i plan on just painting the interior of the box white


how often shoud younglings be watered? how much light would 3 plants require?

Thanks for the help

Just out of curiosity, did you put holes in the bottom of this box for drainage?
Check little girls twice a day and water if the top 1/2" of soil is dry. okee dokee?

oh...btw...brown at the bottom may be a fungus called "damping off". It's terminal. Just google it. You'll see.
i just lost three out of five white widow seedlings. You'll be aight.

no holes on the bottom, but 2 holes on either side of the box
