I'm having some of the same issues. I'm determined to learn how to grow seedlings indoors from seed to hardening off to transplanting and beyond. I either get problems with dampening off which I attribute to my inability to wait long enough to water. I'm always afraid I'm not watering my plants soon enough so I think..just a little more.

If I don't manage to drown them, I will sometimes end up with a little bit of mold and the seedlings will grow slowly or die.

Other times I end up with seedlings that get really tall too fast and fall over because of it. What a pain!

I figure it's just practice and experimenting with different lighting, watering schedules and grow mediums.
