Glad to see you didn't beat yourself up too much over your loss. :thumbsup:

This one's for you :jointsmile:

Seriously though, I can't say enough about how important a seedling starter mix was to me when I experienced problems. Like I said, I had almost the exact same characteristics going on (yellow leaves, stunted growth, etc.). You said that you got new soil (and it could be the bomb :thumbsup but no matter how much perlite you stuff into soil (like my composted manure and humus) it is NOT going to be as light and fluffy as a seed starter. I wrote this on another thread somewhere, but I've seen plenty of logs that show people dropping a bean into like a 5 gallon pot, with fertilized soil, and having a great grow... BUT for me, after taking them out of my soil (nuted at like .5-.5-.5) and putting them into some F.M. Quick'n Easy Seed Starter... it was seriously like I had adopted completely new plants.

So...
1: Small pots
2: Seedling starter mix
3: Fatten up that rootball
- then transplant to a SLIGHTLY larger container. That way they are nice and established when they are introduced to the new soil.

Sorry to go on and on... and I'm not trying to tell you what to do. :thumbsup: I just went through a lot of the same, and I want you to succeed just like I did. :jointsmile:

Stay and Keep :jointsmile:
