I dont know the ph of the water.. The soil is foxfarm ocean forest. At the time it started to burn it was scotts premium potting soil..I'm not using any nutes yet.

both those soils are probly a bit much for seedlings. You can probably ride it out though. If it shows signs of getting worse i'd put it in some seedling soil

I think the foxfarm is organic..so theres no nutes in it at all

just because its organic doesnt mean there are no nutes, it has stuff like bat guano worm castings etc

Im not sure if it is organic. Lots of people thing that fox farm is organic when infact the only nutes they make organic is the big bloom. Everything else contains artificials in 1 way or another
