They were responses to my posts in the plant problems thread. I had given them miracle grow(though I tried very hard not to over do it...) almost all of them (out of 12) is dying..I think I have only like 2 that looks completely fine. They are very young. 2 weeks, but some are so small and wilted and turning colors ....

I hate to tell you this,really i do but if your fertilizing seedlings you really need to read the grow faq & not skip one single folder in it.
Seedlings require nothing except light & very small amounts of ph'ed water,you dont even think about using fertilizer until your a month or better into the grow.
Unless you have expensive seed bank seeds you'd be better off starting over with fresh dirt & seeds,in all likelyhood you have damaged the seedlings to the point where their growth rate will not be normal.
Seedlings can & will die off extremely easy from over watering which is what flushing is,to flush you take at the very least the same volume of water as the pot size & run it through the plant,a one gallon pot would need one gallon of water & so forth.

Unfortunately, I have no more seeds
But yeah when I first started I gave them nothing but water and they did fine. I watered them 3 times with the MG water...and havent gotten to water them again with fresh water because their still too wet to water....I dont want to give up, because they are all I have, and its EXTREMELY hard to get more, as I dont even have a job at the moment so I have no money.... 
The thing that bothers me, is I DID read all of the faqs before I started, but I didnt start till a couple days later and somehow...I had forgotten a couple things, and now that I realize that, it seems to be too late....

USE NOTHING BUT PH'D WATER... for a week or so and see... dude then wait a few weeks till you start with the nutes.. dilluted nutes at best... flushing is using PLAIN WATER... check the ph... get a pool testing kit at gaymart or ballmart or something... make sure its around 6.5 and just water them with water for a week or so.. good luck
