No its organic potting mix with 5 in 1 plant food fertiliser pellets
with perlite...

Do you think this is what did it? when the roots reached all the fert, might have been overkill?

yeh im willing to put money on the manure pellets.it might not be that it was to highly concentrated it but be that u were just overwatering therefore releasing them to quickly b4 the plants can use them up.use a sandy seedling soil that has no nutrients/fertilizer in it at all, then when your plants are 2-3 weeks put them in that organic soil u got

Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil will work wonders for you. It's organic yet has some light nutes in it...but I have NEVER gotten burn from using it. It's great soil and you will notice the differences almost immediately.

i do believe its nute burn. you should never use nutes with sprouts unless there heavily diluted.
if at first you don't succeed grow and grow again lol
