also dont overwater it or underwater it, u want to wait for the top 1 inch of soil to be dry to water again.
also make sure u have good PH and soil and all that.. good luck.

Good luck! I'm following

In the 9th picture - the 'sick' plant is just over watered - that's how it looks from here.

About the plastic caps, you dont put it on to prevent direct light.. this is what u want the most (lights of course). You put it on to keep humidity in.
In your case, I think the plastic caps take too much light from the seedlings! It certainly looks like it from the pictures. When the cap gets full with humidity its almost too foggy for light to enter! (for example look on your last picture from the opening post). consider removing these. unless there is a good, strong and valid reason why u put it there.

Also, consider not giving them foliage watering.
At this puny stage of their life they are not well developed to handle this form of feeding.
Water + soil = your friend.

You're right - though I can't point it out (too noob for that )

you may wanna consider trying to get some perlite in that soil, it helps with drainage so you dont overwater as easy. The soil could have a serious ph problem. no nutes needed for seedlings. looks overwatered tho.

honestly not sure, i got it from a hydroponics store, very lucky to have that store in town, you can probably find threads about home depot soil.
