Well, you "have all the stuff you need" so i guess nothing went wrong, or list the details and we can help you.

Im gonna guess... too little light, poor soil, and improper amounts of water.

And i figured it might be to far from the light so i put it about 6in closer and it looked a little yellow so i figured the soil was to weak and added some calmag, liquid karma, and some rihzo blast to it yesterday all nutrients are botanicare

This means very little in reality.
Some people have used crap for years.
You need to be specific for us to help you.
Also hard to help you if you dont know the temps, or provide any pictures.



Your just saying to us, "hey something is wrong but im doing everything right wtf please help guys"

We cant if you dont give us SOME info.
The size pot dont matter a ton.

Maybe they were too far from the light and not getting enough light, maybe the soil is shit, maybe the temp is wrong, maybe your messing with them too much.

Shouldn't need nutrients for atleast 2 weeks with good soil, might be too much light. Seedlings are sensitive and took much direct light, especially leds, can stunt a plant and turn it yellow. I had some 36w with 3w diodes and it burnt my seedlings at 12" away

I'm having the same issue 5 seedlings in solo cups 180 watt led 2chip ufo 3x2ft closet lunt 18 inches above. Seedlings they have 4 sets of leaves but only 3 inches tall over a month old. In super soil from buildasoil.com. just up potted into 50/50 SS/coco into 3 gallon fabric pots with air injection in soil mix. Will post pictures tonight. If I don't get to stoned and fall asleep. We will see what happens in new mix new nute program going to be using cutting edge nutes.

Is your light on 24/7? You should be giving the plant a dark period of at least 4 hours. I have my seedlings under cfls in a cabinet with a humidity dome.

You don't NEED darkness, plants can do just fine under 24/0

No its not needed, but you will be able to notice a difference in growth. But whatever dude your the king. ..

Actually, they do NEED darkness. Root growth occurs while plants rest/sleep. So a plant that's been vegged under 24 hours of light might look a little bigger, but it will yield less bud than the same plant vegged under an 18/6 light cycle. The bigger the roots, the bigger the fruits.
