The transplant could have a lot to do with it. Always try to start with the largest initial planter possible to minimize the number of times you'll need to transplant and give yourself as much time as possible before transplanting the plant for the first time to ensure that the root system can sustain that kind of shock.i transplanted one of the seedlings and it couldnt of gone more wrong however it did survive and looks to be doing just fine i lost one seedling so far and one of them is growing really slow
