I germinated my plants six days ago and planted them three days ago. One of them looks great and healthy, but the other one is completely yellow.
Is this a normal occurence, should i wait it out? I believe that the second day in soil i may have slightly overwatered. What courses of action can i take to save the plant. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i don't want my plant to die this early

still too young to tell, don't use any nutes if you are, and make sure the pots have plenty of drainage holes and don't over water again and make sure to get them good light.

Its probably either overwatering, or nute burn, Are there holes in the bottom of the pots? its important that you find out because if its nute burn than you should flush the soil with water, but if its not,then dont water for a little while.

thanks for the quick response, they are in fox farm ocean forest with 1/3 perlite mix. I haven't used any nutes on them. The pots do have holes in the bottom, but after looking at the plant today i am pretty sure that it is dead. I have started germinating another one wish me luck

It developed what is called "damping off" see the shriveled stem? Damping off is a fungus that kills seedlings. The way to prevent it is to sterilize your medium and pots before planting and to not keep your seedlings too moist.
