I have no idea what is going on... 3rd time growing and never had a problem. This time I used Happy frog soil and it looks like my plants are burnt... leaves are brittle and are just breaking when i touch them... however soil was very hard before... so I added perlite so now i am needing to water almost everyday because it is dry... but i am scared that since they are just starting should i cut off the leaves that are dead? or dying? they just crumble if i touch them.. check out the pictures and let me know what you think... help def appreciated...

the first 4 pictures below are of the fastest growing plant... all were planted at the same time... it is in my own soil and has just started getting some of the big bloom which i am thinking of stopping bc i am not sure if it is overwatered, or if it is just burning.......
the fifth picture is of another plant showing the same signs as the first.... they are about 3 weeks old as of now.. I would think they would be much bigger...
