Thanks! First grow so trying to figure everything out as I go. Definitely learned:
1. I really shouldn't trust the soil to be properly pH balanced ahead of time... Gonna have to mix some dolomite in next time, and properly slurry test everything.
2. I really shouldn't mess with it so much. I think half the things I scrambled to "correct" were probably fine and I just freaked out (see: flushing in the early stages of the veg as I thought I had a nutrient issue and probably didn't).
3. Overwatering seedlings is easy to do even when you think you're being careful...
