Northern Hemisphere Duckies

Happy Duck

Some tiny, tiny spots on the nearest leaf. Not sure of the cause but the plant is happy regardless

Now here is the runt. Leaves dont grow much more than this- and some odd discolouration. I'd wager PH issue?

Moved them from the peat pots - I was afraid that they would not break down in soil as advertised. Luckily, they are very easily removed without disturbing the soil. Planted them a little deeper, just up to the cotyledons. The weather has been dismal but they are doing their best.

They've been planted into compost/coco/perlite in a 2/2/1 ratio. Substrate drains well but for now, I've been watering very sparingly around the plants to try to encourage root growth. Watering 3-4 days.

One of the plants has stunted leaves and strange yellowing. I notice it at this point but asides from leaf size, the plant is growing at the same pace as its brethren. So far all three have their differences.

Stunted leaves

One of my plants is having a hard time - it's technically growing as fast as the others but it's leaves are half the size, slight discolouration and cupping. I suspect Mg, PH or overwatering may be the issue. All variables for each plant are exactly the same.

Leaves. Veins - yellow between

My first guess is overwatering. If they are too wet, the plant has no reason to develop a strong root system. You need to mimic competition in the wild by forcing them to develop strong root systems. You almost need to dehydrate them.
