help with 10-11 day old seedlings, not growing!

[ThePot]

Hey guys, I have a thread, but no one has replied to it yet so I figured I'd post here. No idea what the problem is...

Planted 14 or 15 in straight sphagnum moss, half mixed with perlite half not. Under 4 4' floro tubes of varying spectrum (160watts total), same as I've always done but they are not growing and in fact are dying . I've already lost at least 2 with another 3 or so on their way out. All have been watered with bottled water only, lights are on 20/4. Temps are good, 67-80 degrees, humidity is a little low but I have a humidifier going a bunch of the time so its usually anywhere between 16% and 50% or so. After they started dying I transplanted to Mg cactus soil 2 days ago, still no real improvements......Have been looking for the best medium for seedlings but no real luck whatsoever. Soil does have some nutes in it but less than 1% of anything...
Anything anyone can offer is much appreciated. I only have a couple pics that aren't that great but you can see the basic situation....thanks alot guys!!



everytime I go to make a thread or reply to my own thread GC stops working wtf?

yeah its probly your medium. same thing happend to me. i was using some shity top soil that a had layin around, the seddling sprouted and was looking very healthy but than 2 weeks came around and it still looked as if it were 5 days old. so i got some all organic potting soil and tranplanted the plant into that medium. still no signs of improvment on day 2 of the potting soil but i think it will regain its health. i think its just stunned

go out and buy some bio-bizz all mix soil (neutral) and clay pebbles. rinse the pebbles and add 10% of these to pot mixing them with soil. (Varied pot sizes, 10% of pot varied) make sure soil is damp, not too dry or soggy and re-plant plants in pots. Be very careful not to damage the roots as the plant will go into shock.
The plants have obviously been set back a bit if they haven't grown alot!
