Help Me Please! 1ft W x 2 ft Deep x 2ft H file cabinet with flourescents 3 regular 2 grow Walmart. Got 10/10 Early Mistys to germinate from Nirvana. Put them in Jiffy Pots 24/24 with well soaked Wal-mart Hyponex Soil within 2 inches of flourescents. After 2 days 3 seedlings came up. Temp low 90s so I put in a 30 cfm PC exhaust fan with humidity 30% sometimes a bit less so i put a cup of water in there. Temp in low 80s with 60% Hu until pots start to dry out then it goes too low for my meter to read it.

On Sat AM , they looked really good. When I came back Monday, the best seedling had fallen over and looked very dry when I put my finger into the Jiffy Pot. I want from fantistic to Oh Shit in 48 hours. What am I doing wrong? I tried not to over water but can those Jiffy Pots dry out that fast? Can I save my babies or do I need to start all over again?

What is the best way to treat my new borns? Clearly I screwed up somewhere.

Any advice for a newbie greatly appreciated.
