T 5 can touch the leaf and will not burn it so it can be 2 inches away.
What am I doing wrong?

Penetration isn’t really necessary and the light is fine for the seeds. Just needs to be closer to the tops of seedlings. Screw the humidity dome and lower your light closer and adjust as the plants tell you.
Again simply more light like i do and bingo better growth.

no :/ just NPK
Can you take a pic of the label. I would get yourself a bottle of cal mag. Nutri plus if you can to keep them the same.

I will definitely check out the nearest hydro, but this is the only thing I'm using at the moment

That should work fine for about 10 days but cal/mag which is in your tap water might need more time will tell. But I would pick some up and a base nutrient when you can.

I picked up some iThrive which has cal/mag in it and also a 4 inch dome rather than the 8 inch dome I am currently using. Thank you!!!!!!!

I'm a total newbie at this but I found coco to be much more forgiving. My rockwool attempts were bad real bad and any successful ones turned out the weirdest looking plants.
A small Kratky setup is easy to make from things around your house. I use solo cups in peanut butter or mayo jars (plastic ones), if you cut the top threaded part off the cups sit in there perfectly, cover the res with paper, cloth or tape and your good to go. I've read that coco is almost impossible to over-water... I'm a believer.

I just got myself some "Pea moss" starters so I'll do a little experiment with both rockwool and that and see where that takes me. I will definitely look into coco though since you're not the first to advise me

Peat moss is close to rockwool in that it will hold a lot of water, so be careful with it. Drainage is key with all mediums. I love the Kratky setup because the pot is suspended in mid air and it gives maximum drainage and the res sitting just below the cup insures you'll never dry out completely.
Ph is also important, I found that if you mix some water and then want to use it again days later... yea check the ph again before you use it.
