Yeah it's just perlite. I suppose it's possible that they are clogged but they felt dry/light and I'd only given them a shot glass of water. i realize that they could also have just damped off which is why this go round i did a short pre soak with bleach water before the overnight soak. I dunno. Symptoms arose almost instantly after the shot glass incident though. Ha, at least it's got me further researching and actively participating in the community. For now I'm still paranoid so I'll be using a syringe to carefully drop water around the edge of their cups and continue to mist until I feel they're stronger. And I'll definitely check their drainage holes to make sure there's no clogging. Thanks everyone, here's to Monday mornings!What’s your growing medium? It should be very hard to drown plants in perlite as long as it drains properly. You sure your holes aren’t clogged?

I am curious about this as well. Seems odd to lose so many seedlings. Also very sad. Need to get this figured out.
, were about 5-6 days old when they took a bow and left this realm. All were under cfl lighting until Sunday morning when I hung my brand new 260 watt qb. The first 24 hours I had them dimmed down and hung about 24" above them. Yesterday I dropped it to 18". 
I was just so paranoid about drowning them. So it goes. Lot's to learn. I'm sure I'll screw the pooch a few more times before it's all said and done, ha. But I'm feeling really good about things now. Thanks so much for all of the help, you guys rock! 
Yeah so I'm kinda starting to think maybe they fell over because of under watering. I had another one fall over last night after spraying it down. Ugh. I know I'm overthinking things, ha. In any case I've taken everyone's advice, double checked that nothing is clogged and this morning I went ahead and gave them quite a bit more water than I have as of yet. There was good drainage coming from the holes so fingers crossed. Zipped everything up and will check back on them this evening when I get home from work. Thanks everyone for the assistance. Can't wait til I can help others as well!
As Tead says, you simply can't overwater hempy, even in seedling stage. The hole keeps the reservoir depth consistent and the wicking nature of perlite surrounds the growing roots with a nutrient-rich environment.
