The outdoor plants were competing with the other plants. Some established. No bueno. As far as your potted plant, water sparingly. Probably got a week before you’ll need nutes. Sparingly. I’d flower pretty soon. Sooner than you would think.

There's really nothing you can do for seedlings. Just keep the medium damp with plain water and wait it out. Can't tell from the pic if there's a new set of leaves emerging or not, but the first set is toast.

You ever find yourself up Portland way, PM me.

Being as all I eat is chicken and fish, I give thighs the nod. Especially for stove top cooking. They definitely have more flavor. Just give 'em a good trim and you can reduce the fat quite a bit. When using breasts, it's almost always bone in, brined and oven roasted.
