The problem is i don't know how much damage you have done to the roots when the temps dropped to -2 a few times
time will tell but yer in 3 weeks they should be a nice bushy small plant by now, sorry mate

i think i figured out what is wrong dude... i never ph my tap water thinking it was ok.... STUPID mistake.... i checked it today and it was 11.6... bloody hell... so i ph it down to 5.8 and flushed the peat pot till run out..... hopefully that will work.... what a stupid mistake.... that is what happened all my other seedlings.....

I all keep my ph round the 6.5 for seedling, why not find a 2ltr bottle of water with ph between 6-7 as it would be a lot better than tap water with ph down
I live in the uk and find the water ph on the back of the bottle, most bottle water has this informashion
