My plants are like 2 1/2 weeks old and like 6-8" tall. I may have overwatered some but the problem of curling up leaves has persisted. Some leaves are also mottled with yellow and some now turn yellow in blotches on the edge or simply stay green and dry up. Other than that they look great and have 11 grow tips. oh and I fertilize every few waterings with 20-20-20 + mg, the first few times it was just 15-30-15 with no mg.

The temps are cool and you have wet soil. Wet soil and cool temps slow root growth. Slow root growth means small plants. If conditions for the plants get better, heat for the roots, light soil, less water they might take off.

I have a heating pad that I used to use for a frog I had so I'll stick that under there, but what about all that other stuff, yellowing between veins, mottling, curl up, dry but green blotches on tips/edges... What is causing all that crap? thanks for the help
I just read where you said that Epsom could cause serious burns, what do they look like?

Why are you thinking about all that crap. Go out to the store and buy some peat pots, the biggest ones you can find. They are about the size of a 20 oz cup. But Pomix soiles mix or any light soiless mix you can find. The heat will be needed so use the pad. Transplant whatever is living into the peat pots and gently fill with soil. Add water keeping the soil just moist. The mix should be moist in the bag. Don't buy anything thats dry!! You geet the plants to that point and post.

I put em in peat pots with 50% perlite 50% peters potting soil. Why did I do that? The problems don't look like they're progressing...I think I was over fertilizing.
