Damaged plants?

[Kratomist]

One looks a little bigger and the other one is still tiny. They look like something is wrong on the edges and tip of their leaves. I couldn't find any pics similar to how mine look so I'm posting here hoping you guys can't spot what I can't see.

That's your problem. That stuff is an amendment. You add it to other soil for moisture retention. Peat hold water for a long time. I got a plant outside in 90 degree heat and only water once a week.

You are drowning them.

Also if you let peat dry completely out it is a pain in the ass to wet it again.

No. I looked at what you have, they make like four different ones for different soil types. You might be able to grow in it. I would definitely cut back on the water.

No wonder they are so small! The bigger plant looks really good other than those spots. I won't water her for a couple days and see what she tells me. Thanks so much for the discovery! I should have read the bag but next time I'm for sure ordering some fox farm. Any particular kind?

I don't know. I buy generic stuff and build my own soil.

Ff ocean forest is ok, bit too hot for seedlings i feel...happy frog is organic and its easier on seedlings..out of foxfarms thats what id recommend.
Cut with approx 25% perlite.
maybe more. Good luck!
