Geningated in paper towels and planted in miracle grow soil, put under lights 24/7, as I have read, I lost what am I doing wrong??

What are your temps in the room? A 400 watt hps is alot for new born sprouts IMHO. You should really get yourself some CFL's to start them out then move them under the hps.

If you are using a 400 watt hps you should have it atleast 12 to 24 inches away from your plants. What ya need to do is stick the back of your hand on the top of your plants. If the light is to hot on your hand then it's to hot for your plants.

what type of MG are you starting the seedlings in, i use MG and i know the TBG has much experience with MG soil. my first batch of soil i got was very high in N and it killed a couple of my seedlings off too, the next batch i went with MG seedstarter soil which is much lower in N and had no problems.

and remember with MG to give them nothing but plain PH balanced water.
