Set lights aside, they are beyond over watered as well as cut off from O2. Even in my fast drying coco I only use a turkey baster of water every few days. Much better than pouring in and I don't understand this misting junk. If you dome them, they don't need to have mist on them. That's just inviting a cornucopia of issues. At most, mist the dome once and that's it. Honestly don't even need to do that, it will create it's own humidity quickly. I empathize, it's so hard to leave them alone. We want to water them, and feed them, and breathe on them. Heck, some even play music for them.

Wow, I am totally blown away by all the responses. This is my 7th grow season and every year there are a myriad of problems to overcome. Fungus gnats was the nastiest of all. I do tend to overwater and for sure I blasted them with too many photons. I will not give up and still have 3 that might just survive after taking the advise above. I am now just running one lamp with 4 of 8 bulbs so thats 200watts. Im no scientist so I just do my best. I think the problems with this year was soil (too hot) and too much light as well as overwatering. Somehow Iv managed to harvest 6-9oz of decent smokeables every year but it is a tough job. Here are picture of last years grow. So I am totally vexed. Its a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. And to top it off I now have a dispensary a block from my house that always has discounted specials. So I may just give up the hassle trying to grow its really a daily headache.

as you can see from the pics 5 of 6 little ones died on me last year also. I replanted 5 which is why they look younger. Iv also given up mixing Sativas with Hybrids as they grow too tall.

I think they be ok but just a guess.
I'm not gonna try. It's 9am and the sun started coming in the window @ 30K. Will be 50k in an hour and stay there til 3:30 or so. If it was warmer, I could take them outside for 100K lux and they thrive. The plants love it. Try putting seedlings under 100k lumens of LED for an hour.
