I have an inclosed area with two, 2light flouresent light fictures with GE plant & aquarium lights in both fictures. under the lights i am germinating some plants for the comming up growing season. in germination trays w/a peatmoss/perlite/vermiculite mix i have black seeded simpson lettuce, and buttercrunch lettuce. i had saran wrap over the trays to give them the greenhouse effect, and light on them all day. yesterday when most of them sprouted i took the saran off.i only water them once at night once during the day. i now have a timer attached to the lights set for 18hrs light 6hrs dark. when i got up this morining i took a look at the newly sprouted plants and saw that they were shrivaled up and dead. can anyone tell me what im doing wrong? thanks, Rico
