Ok.
Its probably your environment TBH.
Since you've had gnats. You're probably too wet, or humid, or both.
I cant tell what kind of bug that is, sorry.
Someone else may be able to help you there.

No dont stick the syringe into the soil and cause havoc with your roots. He means you can surgically water your plants with a syringe and give it a squirt of love instead of using a cup like your throwing a rock in a lake. And I asked if you were feeding it some nutes with a little bit of microbes,

No nutes. Doesnt the fox farm soil already have enough nutes for seedlings?
I wouldnt worry about nutes at all, right now mate.
It need to branch its roots, and grow fine root hairs, first. Otherwise they burn.
Its pretty much, just got a tap root right now. Plants use tap roots, to search for, and drink water.
There's no point in feeding it yet. Especially since its in soil, too. Not for several days at least.
You more than likely have an oxygen issue. Because you've been overwatering.

Yes and no, you have to give it some nutes and microbes and feed it. The microbes break everything down so the plant can use it, along with nutes and the nutes are also available to the plant without microbes. You want to start off about 250 ppms when you feed it a balanced vegetative nutrient solution.

Foxfarm ocean forest soil is too strong for seedlings and small plants. This is why the company makes light warrior soil. You're supposed to use that until the plants are bigger and can handle the high fert content of ocean forest.

I'll bet your local nursery doesn't start seeds in that soil. Every greenhouse I have ever been in the last 30 years uses Pro Mix. It is their livelihood and income so they can't take chances with anything else.
