Yes pics would help, how old are they, if they're just seedlings, that's normal they are only concentrating on growing roots, there may be ferts in the soil, just feed water for a week or two then gradually start with a mild form of ferts increasing as it gets older, your plant will tell you.

You done goofed. I'm just kidding. Are any leaves twisting? Most likely even if the soil is too hot for them, they stall out for a week or so, then have a good enough root system and will start to use those nutrients in the soil. You should be A Ok. What's your pH?

Your soil may be a little too compact for those babies, what are you using for lights? you could transplant in an other pot that has perlite mixed in with it, might set it back a little but it would help.

let the soil dry out. no perlite or coco is fine, the just means more room for bacteria , fungi, and enzymes

check the ph of your runoff

if the ph of your runoff is different from the ph water you are putting in it, your soil has a high or low ph (salt) and needs to be flushed with ph balanced water. I do think some of the pictures show some yellowing between the veins am i right? If so they are heading down hill fast.

Dont forget cacium, and magnesium. Very important. Otherwise your plant aint going no where. Ph to 5.8
and patient. They are tough.
