I water it thoroughly every other day until i get runoff. Usually when I get back home from work it's completely dry again. What does that brown on the leaves mean?

probably overwatered, no need to water that much when the plant is that small, even if there is a just a little moisture in the soil its probably fine. Just because the top bit of the soil is dry dosent mean that the bottom of the soil is dry. id say once or twice a week is all you would need

Damn what r u doing to them? make sure they don't get too hot, it looks more like nute burn. You say no nutes in soil, hows ur water PH? hows the drainage of the pot and soil, any perlite mixed? doesn't look liek it. make sure ur top soil for about an inch deep is dry before u water, but u said they dry every other day which is kinda quick, WHATS THE TEMP LIKE???

its comfortably warm. can't be more than 70 degree even right aginst the lights. soil gets thoruoughly dry even halfway through the pot almost hourly. no perlite is mixed. this soil mix im using (hoffmans seed starter) is 50% peat moss. maybe thats whats fucking me up. haven't checked ph of water but i'm just using tap water, i'll check tomorrow. one of the plants(was growing slowest) is completely shriveled and dead now. other two are green and alive, but showing sighns of going that same way. i transferred two of the plants a week and did disturb the root systems so tthat could have had this effect on them. it's gonna suck if these fuckin things die
if anyone could recommend straight up what brands of soil/ anything i should be using at this stage that would be very helpful. id go buy some Foxfarm soil but i read it has alot of nutrients in it so idk.

Did you get it wet with the spray bottle? Are you pouring water into the soil or spraying water at the soil?

I just spray the surface/plant with a mist bottle. It dries quick as fuck though. Even when i pour water into it, with considerable runoff coming from the bottom, it's bone dry when i get back from work.
edit: I have 3 cfl bulbs hanging really close to the plants, maybe half an inch for the entire grow. thats what proboably fucke dme yp
