Hi everyone, I need some help. For the last 6 seeds that I germinated and stared in a solo cup. But they all stop growing after the first leaves. About 3 inch. I've tried different soil. And different watering habits. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Please help. Im just wasting good seeds.

well how close is your light and how far away is it?
temp?
humidity?
 
The light is about 18 inches away, led. The tent is temp and humidity controlled. Right now, it's 80° ,35% humidity.
 
Your not giving it any food/nutrients?
 
Your humidity is way too low for seedlings. Try and get that up to 60-70% constant.

Seedlings do not need much light, raise your light to 24-28 inches and lower intensity to to 30%.

Water only when soil is dry and most soils come with enough nutrients to get you through your next transplant.
 
It's a 100w.

Crap. Ok, I'll germ another one. When I put it in a solo cup, how much water. I think I've been overdoing it.

a solo cup, i’d guess around 300 ml.. than wait till it’s dry or cup is light in weight.. after 30 mins from when you watered pick up the cup to feel the weight, when it’s time to water it’ll be as light as a piece of styrofoam
 
I do have holes in bottom. But I agree, I think it's a water issue. Thx
I'm wondering about your media, too. Coco and perlite? Did you buffer the coco? Wash out the dust and smalls? People say you can't overwater coco, but if you leave the little stuff in, it can get pretty soggy. If you don't buffer, coco will steal magnesium from you.
