K. My first 2 grows went by without any problems at all but my 3rd grow consist of 4 seedlings/sprouts about 7 days old but this morning i have lost 2 of them which leaves me 2. I have no clue what's happening.

Here is my set-up.

Soil........
Miracle Grow organic mixed with previous MG dirt from past grows.

Temps.....73.0-77.0 with proper airflow blowing on the plants.

Lighting..... 4 T-12 flouros. 2 of these are cool white and the other 2 are 3500k plant and aqaurium.
I also have 4 26 watt 6500k Daylight cfl's running beside them. Lights are close. I would say 2-3 inches.

Symptoms....Yellowing and droopiness in the first 2 set of leafs. Haven't watered for at least 2 days thinking over watering be the problem. I also flushed but still no improvement. Ph is around 6.9-7.0 but i usually leave tapwater set out 2-3 days before using.

Just when i thought i was getting the hang of greenthumbing this bites me in the ass. Oh and im all outta seeds. So i need these to blossom.

And no i don't have any pixs. No digi:-(

You probably know this...but your not really supposed to reuse old soil. it looses it's nutrients and can develope mold. Could be contributing to your plants problem.

good point taknitez. i would like to add that mg soil is notorious for running hot with seedlings and young clones. the symtoms you mentioned could be from overwatering aswell. besides that, it sounds like you know the basics

Im beginning to think Miracle Grow burns your seedlings/sprouts. It's Fox Farms Ocean Forest from now on. It's time to start doing things right even if it brakes my piggy bank:P

ya, one thing I have learned recently. Avoid most MG unless it contains NO slow release nutes and avoid ALL scott's soils. They MIGHT mess up your mature plants and WILL kill your seedlings.
