The problems I have with VFT seedlings is over watering and not enough light. Imo its easier to start them in LFS and just blast them with light. They seem to like fluoros a few inches from the top of them but youll have to watch them because heat from the lamps could dry out the top of the media.

I just fill about a inch in the bottom of my water tray and leave it there for a couple hours then dump it out and I do that about ever 3 or 4 days

Eh maybe Matt will chime in. Idk what else could cause them to die off. I usually struggle a lil with peat mixes and VFTs though.

They look fine to me. Perhaps lacking a bit of light, which is causing the long, droopy leaves, but they look pretty healthy overall.

That.^ My seedlings are an inch and a half from the bulb of a T5 (not HO) and they do great. I do have to mist them every morning, to keep the top media from drying out.

Oh yeah, closer than that definitely. Do it in a one inch increment a day, it might burn them if y9ou do it to close to fast.
