Without pics it's a little tough. Sounds like over feeding to me , your soil sounds rich so probably lay off any nutes or cal/mag for a bit an see how she reacts. It's easy to nute burn seedlings. If you can post pics that would help.

I thought I did? Sorry I'm on mobile.
I should also note I've only fed once and all they were fed were just the Cal/mag, bio root, bio weed, bio marine, and the humic acids because of the original amendments.
After some googling, maybe phosphorus?

I'm not a soil grower I do coco/perlite mix, but she doesn't look to bad. Personally I would run a gallon of water though her and let her ride for a few days. Soil can take a few days to show changes in nutrients and discontinue the nutrients until she is bigger. Seedling need very little nutrients until they get there roots get established. maybe a soil grower will pop in and share there opinion.

Ya prob just a little wet super hard when in giant pots for such a little plant.
Hold off feed and water till it dries out. Ie container is super lite. Then water and she will take right off as roots will expand in search of water.

Thanks guys. I just gave them a feed before my post so I flushed out what I gave them and put them in the sun. It's supposed to be sunny for a day or two. We've gotten 18 inches of rain this month

Ya if raining and ur watering/feeding def whats going on try and hold off. Feeding those large pots also is hard as most is umaccessable to the plant. Could of just left it but too late now.. just be sure its almost dry before any water.

thanks for the reply. I'm just going to stop fucking with them. I added the first feed when transplanting because they were left in tiny paper jiffy starters for too long and got super yellow. then it rained for three weeks. I'm going to the spot again on sunday afternoon and will see what to do then. thinking about bringing them home and placing them in my space-tote until stronger. there's basically no end in sight to this rain.

hey guys here's an update. Much more sun these past few days but the browning is progressing. The mexi bag seed really dosen't look happy. ph'd the soil, both read about 7. I did not test runoff because of the overwatering issue. Can't really tell because i'm using test strips.
Should I take steps to lower my pH? Im thinking of digging them up and remixing the soil with more peat/compost
any thoughts or suggestions?

The first one looks a little ruff let it dry out a little more and watch it close. If new grow is yellow you have a lock up if it green your good. I'm thinking nute burn but not positive.
The second one looks OK, wait for growth tips to form and note the color like above. Her lower leaves look green if they start to yellow then she wants feed but if the new growth is yellow to then you have a lock up. Good luck
