Hey guys
I started my first indoor grow 12 days ago. I've set up a little grow room in my spare shower.
I germinated 2 northern lights seeds in rockwool in a humidity dome. The first seedling popped through at 4 days but the second one only after 8 days. After a few days the roots of the first one came through the cube so I transplanted to soil.
The second one has been lagging behind the whole time so I left it in rockwool. every now and again when the rockwool got dry I dipped the bottom half of the cube in ph water of 6.1. Both seedlings are under 1 85watt cfl each. (I made little reflectors myself)
Yesterday the "slow" seedlings rockwool was completely dry but it still looked relatively healthy so I dipped the bottom half of the cube in ph'd water for a couple of seconds and off I went to bed. This morning I woke up to a very sad looking seedling which I'd say isn't going to make it. I'm quite sad because I spent a lot on the seeds and the one just took off so well while the other just never did much.
I've attached some pics, of the healthy seedling then of the "slow" seedling while it was relatively healthy and then the pic I took this morning of it all shrivelled. Could I have given it too much water or did it dry out yesterday? can a 85 watt cfl be too much for it? I put the light about 2 inches away from the top of it.
Heat is not a problem as it's winter where I stay so the room is probably about 20 degrees celcius (70 farenheit)
Any advice please?

agree with flower pharm though it probably would have always been weak.
