The little auto that could?

Ok im not crazy. Never herd of using them before Have to let me know if it works. There definitely stunted. May have overwatered them. Thats where Id start. How much and often do you water or have water so far?

Had to get the petemoss wet and work on drainage, had some issues with that, added some sand not a lot, pine nuggets, the cotton burrs. Tried again with new seeds, still stunting. I moisture check the soil and don't water unless it says it's dry.

When they stunted like this I waited about 4 days, before adding a small bit of water because the soil read dry, they just sit there, sometime praying happy as can be, but never moving.
 
Did you mix chunks of pine into the soil?
 
Not sure if it’s a problem now, but that sounds like a future C to N ratio nightmare.
You think after it starts to rot or decompose a bit then he will have them problems? I willing to bet he over watered them. I cant see really anything else about what he saying that could cause the problem. Maybe to much light?? or what or how much I suppose he amended with???

Yeah, it’ll steal N & complicate things.
I wondered about the light, but I’m still learning that stuff myself.

Im not good with it either just kinda play with it till the plants look happy but not droopy. Can’t afford an real ppfd meter. Someday. I got one for my phone used it once. Just dont trust it as much as i trust the plants to tell me what they want and need.

So I amended with worm castings, and this amish community mix of pelletized blackstrap molasses, bone meal, lobster meal, bone meal, fish meal, alfalfa meal, all non burning.

Pine bark nuggets, like mulch, for aeration. Got it from my wife's blueberry soil recipe.
