ok ,
This is what i have learned about seedlings in soil like the brands you are using ,
Firstly,
new growth is wispy looking,
This could be 2 things,
1 Ph inbalance,
2 , and more likely they are burnt from your soil being to hot with nutes and maybe nutes you have added on top,
Mg soil is known to have months of slow feed nutes added and the seedlings can't take it and simply do not need it.
A seedling can feed itself from the nourishment it gets from its shell/seed.
I would ph some water at 6.0-6.5,let it stand for 12 hours,
Ph check again.
Use this water to flush through every seedling, drench them properly until the water runs through the drainage holes,
this should fix them, it certainly will not harm them,
give them a week and the struggling wispy new growth will start to grow normally,
Do not feed them for 1 week after flush,
this is the best action you can take and it will allow you to monitor them and evaluate again in a week without taking drastic measures,
in a week , feed at half strength,
good luck.

So just to make sure just ph some water to 6 - 6.5 and just water generously until there is enough drainage? Would this not be the same as when i just do a plain watering without nutes ? Sorry if this is a dumb question lol
Also any ideas as to what could be causing the wholes?

The difference is you are washing the nutes out of the soil so a lot more water is needed , almost as if you are purposely overwatering,
The holes in the middle of the leaves started off as nute singe but are now holes,
The deformation on the outside of the larger leaves are were you banged them about when they were younger....

wait until the next watering ,
i have learned over time that drastic measures never help if the problem is not that bad.
yours is not that bad.
