These days is around 23/16C 74/62F outside for 4-5 hour’s but in the closet they are under a 50w basic led projector.
I think i had to mix this mix with some basic soil and now its like sitting in fertiliser thats what worries me

Too much water/heat in the media. Roots are hot and drowning.

Let the soil get more dry between waterings. There’s not a lot you can do at this exact moment.

Plants are not “ socially distant “ for starts.

no help so far eh.
you started them in too strong of a soil mix.

is guess generally your top layer of soil has little nutrient, idk.

dont transplant, keep nursting them along. dont over water.
next time start it off in a basic seed starting mix and let them grow a few nodes before the good soil

Yes they are looking better but your soil still looks super wet. They also need more light.

Well... they will likely need water in 2-4 days lol. Best way to get watering right is to keep an empty pot of dry dirt. When you pick up your plants, compare them to the dry pot (you can even weigh them). If they dont feel dry or very close to it, they dont need water.
