Hello everyone, So A week ago i started germination of some seeds and then after a few days of germinating i planted them in fox farms ocean forest soil. Today will mark the 1 week since i germinated my seeds and so far, two of my sprouts seem to be killing the game while my other two aren't looking so hot. One of the two that aren't doing so good is starting to develop brown cotyledon leaves while the first pair of true leaves seem to be stunted. The second plant that doesn't seem to be doing so well isn't developing any brown spots but the first pair of true leaves are lime green and the whole plants growth seems to be stunted like the first plant compared to my other two plants which are thriving. I have refrained from watering them except for the first two days because i read you can over water them. They got watered yesterday because one of my friends thought they needed water while i was out and about running errands. Anyways here are some pictures
These first two plants are the two doing the best:
I have had issues with ocean forest for seedlings. Here's a short convo about it I just had a couple days ago with someone else here:

ive heard this said a lot, but i've never experienced it. i've germinated quite a few seeds before, and i've always used ocean forest except one mistake with roots organics, fuck that shit.
recently germinated 3 SFV OG seeds, put em straight into ocean forest, 2 took off, doing great, one mutant plant is growing a lot slower, burned slightly at first and grew out of it in a few days.
So they might very well bounce back just fine, in my case they did not, but either way your culprit is likely the ocean forest soil.
edit: Ocean forest is great soil btw, I use it, and a lot of people I know use it also. It just can sometimes be a bit much for seedlings is all.
I use happy frog personally, then once I transplant during veg sometime before flower it usually goes into ocean forest.
CrushNazT (person I quoted last post) has been growing a bit longer than me so if he comes in here with advice it would be worth it to listen. This is just what works for me.
