okay so i been trying to grow, and i always get to the sprouts... and they either turn to crisp or lean over and die... so basically today i shook the bottom of my peat pot a bit and saw little "light brownish" insects little tiny fellows coming out of the dirt.... what are they? are they feeding off the roots? im beginning to think this is the problem to my growing... other than that i have em on a 130W FL'S in my room on the carpet.... someone plz help to why my sprouts never grow they just lean over and die.

how close do you have the light(s) to the seedlings?

i have the lights about 6 inches away.. i sometimes move the bulbs a little closer.... then back them away a bit more.

I buy Jiffy Pucks and I'd never use the Jiffy pots, I found the pucks haven't brought any problums so I stick with them and they work awsome for seedlings that I'm finding out
