Hi. First time grower in England! Bought some seeds from Amsterdam & followed some tips. For various reasons can only use a cupboard to grow in soil(miracle-gro potting).Within 2 days seeds sprouted & I thought all would be well. I kept them warm(79-93deg)on a warming pad, & lit by soft white flouresent for 18hrs on, dark for 6hrs. Suddenly, the young plants started to wilt & i am gutted. Soil was damp & seedlings kept in propagator. Not sure whether too hot, too wide a temp range or what. ANY ideas or direction would be appreciated, or i'm gonna have to go back to buying the stuff! Thanks in anticipation, Graham

Once they sprout you shouldn't need a warming pad unless they are kept in a really cool room. Also they should be removed from propagator as soon as they sprout. Try removing them and see if they recover.
P.S. Miracle grow soil has timed release nutes in it. They may also cause problems.

And it's unclear how much light you are using. I would guess not enough.
Thanks for replies guys. I used the M/Gro AND added some bat guano from the off(as suggested on first site i checked out) could that be a big problem re Nutes? Lights flourescent on 4 sides but only 60 watt each. I guess i need to research A LOT more! Any further suggestions appreciated but again, thanks for your help.

transplant them into regular soil and dont use M.G soil(i have heard to many horror storys on this soil M.G.) and dont add any nutes for the first 3 weeks.
M.G. soil is overloaded with nutes and not really suitable for growing cannabis.
you want to use a regular top-soil or potting-soil with a neutral ph (7.0).
and then add your nutes when required that way you are in controll of the nutes and know what you are feeding your plants.
