I took a quick look at canna terra, I have never used this soil before so I have 0 experience with this soil.. From what Im reading this soil already has nutrients in it.. From a quick look I don't see the ratio of nutrients in this soil.. If the soil is too hot this too will kill a seedling..

But may be because I added worm humus in it but owrm humus should t burn plants

Usually for seedlings you would go with just a peat or coco coir mix with worm castings, no heavy amounts of nutrients when they are seedlings.. I run a type of "super soil" mix and there is no way I could start a seedling in it.. I start seedlings in straight pro mix type soil, no nutrients.

If watering is not the issue "meaning you didnt just drown or fry your soil", the next step I would be looking at is the nutrients in the soil.

How were you growing this seedling....like, was it outside overnight, is it in direct sun, etc? How cold did it get at night? Cold temps can directly affect a seedling, but also increase your chance of dampening off-I'd raise them indoors for the first couple of weeks then harden them off outside if you can.

How much nutrients does this canna terra soil have in it? I was reading a couple other threads where canna terra was brought up as being a potential issue.

I have never used this brand so I have no clue what type of nutrients are used and the ratio of them. I make my own soil and if the soil is too hot it will for sure kill a seedling..

It wouldn't be weather at 35c in June.. I have started seedlings in April with under 7c before.. I have yet to see a seedling just up and die, there are usually signs of problems before they just kick the bucket.

I'll bet you don't live in Oklahoma. I do know you can do that. Earlier this year I pulled probably about a hundred volunteers from some commercial growers leased from me last year. They came and were growing just fine in the sun and not even with water. I just prefer to use what I think is the better way. You like the other way, do it.

Cannabis has been growing on it's own in almost every climate across the world for thousands of years. They can and do sprout and grow under the sun without any issue.

They look like they dried up. Did you water them after they were like that? Or was the soil wet when this happened?
