My seedlings died and idk why

I took a quick look at canna terra, I have never used this soil before so I have 0 experience with this soil.. From what Im reading this soil already has nutrients in it.. From a quick look I don't see the ratio of nutrients in this soil.. If the soil is too hot this too will kill a seedling..

But may be because I added worm humus in it but owrm humus should t burn plants

Usually for seedlings you would go with just a peat or coco coir mix with worm castings, no heavy amounts of nutrients when they are seedlings.. I run a type of "super soil" mix and there is no way I could start a seedling in it.. I start seedlings in straight pro mix type soil, no nutrients.

Worm castings dont burn plants.. I have yet to have any worm castings burn any plant "and I own a worm farm".

Im curious as to how much nutrients that canna terra soil has in it from the start..

If watering is not the issue "meaning you didnt just drown or fry your soil", the next step I would be looking at is the nutrients in the soil.

If I put a seedling in my soil mix there is a very good chance that seedling will not make it.. The soil is just too hot for such small rooted plants..

How were you growing this seedling....like, was it outside overnight, is it in direct sun, etc? How cold did it get at night? Cold temps can directly affect a seedling, but also increase your chance of dampening off-I'd raise them indoors for the first couple of weeks then harden them off outside if you can.

Today were good and in direct sunlight maybe 35 celsius maximum

How much nutrients does this canna terra soil have in it? I was reading a couple other threads where canna terra was brought up as being a potential issue.

I have never used this brand so I have no clue what type of nutrients are used and the ratio of them. I make my own soil and if the soil is too hot it will for sure kill a seedling..

It wouldn't be weather at 35c in June.. I have started seedlings in April with under 7c before.. I have yet to see a seedling just up and die, there are usually signs of problems before they just kick the bucket.

Yeah is still super weir that both of them became like this, maybe because I sprinkled some water near them to keep em moist and it was hot outside and they were in the sun?

Seedlings should never be in the sun. Like said above, start them inside and when you do move them out break them in easy, not under the hot sun.

I pop mine and plant in full sun before the shell is even off.They start super fast and love full sun in spring .Slugs and bugs can be a huge threat .View attachment 5154381

I'll bet you don't live in Oklahoma. I do know you can do that. Earlier this year I pulled probably about a hundred volunteers from some commercial growers leased from me last year. They came and were growing just fine in the sun and not even with water. I just prefer to use what I think is the better way. You like the other way, do it.

Cannabis has been growing on it's own in almost every climate across the world for thousands of years. They can and do sprout and grow under the sun without any issue.

They look like they dried up. Did you water them after they were like that? Or was the soil wet when this happened?

It was moist

Over watering and too much light would be my best reply!

Weird generalization
I have popped many a seed in direct sun
At the very least climate is a factor

looks like dampened off but it's not clear from the pic
maybe start in sterile environment or peat jiffies?
some soil is just full of pathogens
I'd take that into an oven at 120°C half an hour or water with H2O2 before setting something in

Love your new avatar. That's priceless,

My guess is you cooked them. Small pot with a hand full of soil would get pretty hot in full sun at 35c.
