If anything, you might be overwatering. These plants like the soil to dry between waterings.
Are there drain holes in the bottoms of those cups?
Also, are you feeding them nutrients? They look like they are receiving too much nitrogen.
What are you giving them for light? How close to the plants are they?

In those cups at that size, a full size shot glass each cup once a day. Every day when they wake up, give em a shot. Once you get a couple sets of 3+ bladed leaves(Maybe in the 2nd week), start watering til you get drainage out the bottom of the cup.

Well I'm no expert on that but I did a little test myself last year. I belonged to another weed site and we had a lot of new members with autos burning up in FFOF even though it says "super for seedlings" on it. I had a bag of it plus happy frog and I did a quick comparison. It may be BS as I'm no scientist but here's what I did. I took a small scoop of each (same size) and put them into a container of their own with my tap water (same amount) and mixed them up. I put my PPM meter in and recorded the results. It's been close to a year so I can't remember the exact numbers but the FFOF wasn't too high; somewhere around 300 PPM but the happy frog was 700 plus. It really surprised me so I did another sample and got a higher reading the second time. I wish the site was still up as I made a post of it but it folded. I still have the pics somewhere so I could look for them if you want the exact numbers I got, but like I said it might not be the most scientific test.
I like both products and the HF has a real nice texture to it; I just wonder if they didn't juice it with some kind of powder that has a lot of power. I used both bags but outside on big plants. I don't think I'd recommend either for seedlings unless you cut it with peat moss or Sunshine #4.

interesting, thanks for taking the time to write that. I don’t think I’ve used happy frog before, but this plant is in happy frog. Doesn’t meant anything I just don’t have anything else to add hehe. Leaf got messed up coming out of the seed.

Well it looks good so maybe @Bigjeff420 's plants will come around. When did you start with nutes (if you did).

I Havnt used any nutes at all, this plant is about two weeks old. I’ll be giving it some coconut powder/aloe flakes and a touch of kelp/compost but looking at transplanting to a 20 gal container or 4x4 flower bed. He could be having RH or temp issues maby? Looks like enough perlites in there.
