So I my plants start out real good and about 6-7 days after being in the pots they loose their vigor and wilt from the top down? thoughts? they have been under the grow lights 24/7 thinking of switching to 12 on 12 off...maybe hitting the outside sooner? kinda baffled but i'm loosing some good seeds here and need to fix whatever quickly
thanks in advance

Yes same soil, same everything...i believe the ones that are wilting away are the "older" plants I am afraid the "younger" ones will do the same...I have moved them to another part of the house...too wet and cold outside to transplant outside

Let the soil dry out it may be too wet.

I have thought about outside but temps are dipping into the 40's at night, i don't have cables buried yet and we have received about 2-3" rain over past 4-5 days with more on the way...i lost more plants yesterday...i'm at a loss but will get them outside asap...thanks guys

I have lgs under lights for that long and they are fine. I really question soil issue or too much water. I will plant my lgs out in about 10 days which will put them about 20 days old. These plants typically look fine when I plant them outside even though they are in 1 quart containers.
