I know this is a stupid question but are you using miracle grow perlite? Have you been using straight tap water?

Why, I use MG peralite? I have not noticed anything out of the ordinary,,my second time also. although I started with distlled water and now switched to spring water, cause I was thinking something was not right,,,try switching to spring water,,I adjust the pH before watering at about 5.8-6.4, been doing ok for me now.

Reason he asked is that MG brand perlite has nutes added to it.

FFOF is pretty hot soil (alot of nutes) still I bet they will grow out of it and be fine
