points made, all of you,... now let it go please!
Mykal, Promix isn't a true soil, it''s in fact a "soilless" medium, meaning it's little more than straight peat, none of the several other primary components that true soil has... Coco is another example of soilless media. As such, it's nearly devoid of nutrients, so you have to start feeding within the first week, with mild dosing...
Cold T's will slow drying down a lot, so this can make feeding a challenge if you have to wait days to do it and not waterlog the mix... Plants are small, so they aren't pulling hardly anything from the mix, compounding things,....
seedlings look OK, some leaf bowing/curling at this stage isn't uncommon, might be from overwatering a bit, maybe not, it's something only one can tell by physically inspecting the pots... In any case, the plants are undersized from the cold and lack of feeds, so likely they will not get as big as expected.... Feed ASAP, depending on the NPK#'s of your nutes, safe start is 1/4 strength unless the nutes are mild (low#'s).... warm things up, they can handle warm/hot far better than cold so far as performance goes.... Arthur has you covered there....
