It sounds like lack of light is part of your problem but without some more info and some pics it's a bit hard to help you. What's the vitals? Indoors or out? How are you feeding them? Yes spider mite are a problem, especially on small or sick plants. No offense and I'm not trying to be a dick or anything however I highly doubt you would have read all of the available info in the FAQ or you wouldn't have started this thread. Here's a handy link for you and I suggest if you're truly serious about growing that you learn the craft and read, read, read.

Not much info to give a diagnosis, but it sounds like damping off. it happens, Its a disease that attacks the stem of seedlings and small sprouts. mostly caused by to moist and damp around base of plant, maybe from over watering, unsterilized soil, dirty grow containers,overcrowding, and stress, such as low light, cool temperatures. Here is some prevention measures: Clean growing conditions. Clean containers yearly use sterile soil mixes. Water seedlings from the bottom of their containers Avoid over watering Don’t plant seeds too deep Soil with a low pH: commercial starter mixes average 5.5 pH Good ventilation: moving air Use a soil-less starting mix, such as a peat moss/vermiculite mix. (This is not an environmentally friendly option, however, as peat moss is comes from sensitive bogs.) Plant seeds on soil, but cover with sand instead of soil.
