What? You had 48C? Omg, like the middle east. Wtf? 29C is still very hot. We've got abt 27-29 now but ur not far from me. I think ur seedlings are in a huge amount of wet soil. Look at my thread. It should help. :)
yes it ws too hot this summer thank god is cooling, this r in wet soil but when i let them dr out completly 2 of the seedlings dried up and fell over and died

raising the temps will dry them out faster...but i would just wait it out, if the soil is really wet and just not drying out, try to dig up the root system, damaging little as possible, and repot it in a much smaller cup
id rather not repot :s do u suggest i put them back to the mh?

Dude....ur using just peat moss? Your soil is missing some things! You obviously haven't taken the time to read the wealth of knowledge that these core members here have posted?? Do some research for a cpl days, and then try again with new seeds!
Knowledge is power! Good luck danielson....:)

As far as I know and as far as I read and see seedlings do not need and nutrients to survive the first couple of weeks then I start with 1/4 strength and so on I have done my research and correct me if I am wrong but seedlings and survive with no nutes

Could it be possible you didn't plant deep enough.I've made this mistake before and realized i had a root almost on top of the soil or on the top,Try this add more soil around the base of the plant and in the pot in general almost to the brim it will sink when watered anyway.Remember roots don't like lights and exposure to light will cause a huge decrease in growth and a big increase in root damage. So just add more soil,water,then sprinkle a lil more soil on and come back in a few day to thank me lol

Pause a inch deep? if that is the case them most likely the roots didn't come up as i suspected and is more likely the over abundance of perlite in the soil since it's more than 1 plant doing it.So scrap what i said and wait for your soil to dry again,then pull em up with soil and all and mix a new batch of soil with less perlite alot less.Seems the roots may not have anything to grab on to.

You may want to add some for drainage at least 20-30%,water logged soil can get funky and rot roots,if you gonna use the same size container you gonna have to carefully separate the roots but if you gonna use a bigger one then just add soil mix and transplant them,the roots will reach the new soil if so.

I use MG POTTING MIX with is pretty much the same thing,but less perlite and slow release ferts.
Your mix is good but as stated before just too much perlite,i know from experience i added too much before and my seeds never even popped.
