Hi, I am new at this and have several failures so far. I am trying to grow indoors with LED grow lights in a tent with Happy Frog soil using pH adjusted to 6.5 town water and then again with distilled water with seeds from a couple different vendors. The plants start out good but fail after 8 to 10 branches. I don’t know what I am doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forum @Ponic
As @Myfriendis410 suggested, try and just give as much of that info as you can and thus will help us to better understand where your at and what to do to get you where you want yo be.
If you don’t understand what any if the things are just say so we can explain 
Most people struggle with seedling stage so I’m pretty confident you could be on track in no time as you seem to do pretty good up till now…

If you’re just using happy frog their’s not enough in it to carry her this far without feeding. did you start feeding yet? . if you use happy frog its best to mix 50 50 with fox farm ocean forest

I strongly recommend completing the Support Ticket. If we don’t know what you are doing it is hard to make corrective recommendations.
What do you know about your town water? Chlorinated?
The pot with the small plant looks excessively dry.
Most failures occur much earlier than the age of the larger plant. So something that is cumulative or repetitive is catching up to it.

Practical question. How do you collect the runoff on your plants to test it. Do you have a dedicated pan to set the plant in?

A lot of us use a riser and a drip pan underneath the plant. Keeps the plant out of the runoff and you can collect it for testing.
