What are the dimensions of your dresser? Be sure to have a fan on your plants too, it'll help them develop strong stalks. And once they both sprout you should be able to drop the lights within a few inches to make sure your getting the most out of your lights. CFLs are good, but only when their close. Best of luck man!
I have that same thermometer/hygrometer!

Have a split dresser one veg cab one flower both are bout 3x2x3
i have a fan but i lost 2 seedings already cuz the fan dried out the pellets so im waiting for them to get bigger before i put the fan back on
i took the blue mistic seed out of the pellet today its sitting in water right now... it did not root...what can i do? is it dead?

Hmm, I'd wait up to 5 days or so, but that's just a guess really. I've had seeds that germed pretty slow before, but nothing longer than that.

If u put a piece of glass under the cfl's, basically between the lights and the plants, but closer to the lights, it should reduce temps to ur plants a least 6-10 degrees most of the time!

Really? I've never heard of that but I might try to find some glass around here to try that thanks for the tip!
whats up everyone my blue mistic never sprouted after i dropped it back in the pellet... what a waste...my sour n sage is doing pretty good there are some pics below.
I have not germinated the LSD seed i guess i will grow this one out a bit or do u think i should go ahead and start her?

my guess is overwatering is killing ur roots, and thats why its dying from the ground up. I used to go to a one stop solution station 4 all problems and im pissed because the OG Growfaq is gone forever :'((( anyway sorry bout ur luck im sure someone with more knowledge will help ya out better in the mean time google growfaq and then look for plant problem sections.
edit* a quick look at the base of the stem near the dirt should confirm/disprove my theory

then read #10.
If you think this is more likely than overwatering you ought to buy a ph test kit from Lowes/HD. The white leaves kind of give it away, i think.
then look for [h=1]Plant Abuse Chart and Photos by Nietzsche[/h]
and nearly at the bottom, you'll find a more indepth look at FE deficiency
"Caused by factors that interfere with iron absorption of roots: over irrigation, excessive soluble salts, inadequate drainage, pests, high substrate pH, or nematodes. This is easily corrected by adding an iron supplement with the next watering."
Ive never had a ph prob that serious in soil and if youre not overwatering my next guess would be the drainage. Solution? Perlite; of which i dont see any in your mix
Oh and, "I dont think i can grow a plant... smething always happpens", dont be so easily discouraged ;D
good luck

easy answer - you should take the time to read the resources provided 2u.
water when the pot is lite - if thats too hard go pick up a moisture meter from walmart/lowes/HD and while youre there pick up the supplements metioned in the faq
does your pot have holes for drainage? are you going to transplant to a bigger pot later (if so make a soil mix equal parts dirt and perlite)
as far as will it live - if youre still seeing new growth i would say be hopeful, but in the meantime, you should probably be watering around once every 5 -7 days or less depending on your moisture retention. if you get the moisture meter(10$) you should water when the root base reads between 5-7, or when the top inch of your pot is bone dry.
