Plants are slowly dieing...someone help!!!

WHat is going on with my plants...i have no clue...they are 5 weeks old, and are really small, they have white spot all over them...they are in FFOF with no added nutes. I water them only when dry. Any advice would be much appreciated!!

ocean forest is WAY hot(high in nutes)
prolly burning the lil things
looks like they'll pull through it probably
may get pretty sad and ugly first, may just take off
also, in a couple of the pictures it looked like you may have sort of a light fuzzy white coating?
if so, that's likely to be powdery mildew
also check the ph of your soil and the water you're using - it may not be burn at all
by eliminating possibilities, you will find your problem
meanwhile, read the threads in my sig and have fun

What are the temps?

I think its a fungal issue, black dots, patches etc. If so its finished.

I agree that it'll probably pull through. It does look pretty sad though and it should be bigger for being 5 weeks old. Like mentioned above use the process of elimination and see where it takes you. You said you water when it is dry? This can mean a lot of things. Just because the top soil is dry doesn't mean it needs to be watered. Take your finger and poke it in the soil 3 inches or so and feel for moisture or you can get in the habit of lifting the pot. If it feels light then it needs water. I only water my plants once a week and they are doing awesome. It really depends on the type of soil you're using and how big the container is. You could also try transplanting it into some different soil? If you don't have a fan on it, get one. What kind of light are you using? You could try using a fluorescent light that is 2-4 inches away from it. Someone mentioned the possibility of mildew. You could always try putting it in a different area.

5 weeks and no nutes? That may be your problem.
