2 out of 9 plants are looking weird. 1 has yellow appearing and the other seems to be curled. My pH tester has stopped working so ive been using drinking water until I get a new meter. Do you think its a pH problem? Just seems strange that it's only 2 out of 9

Not all seeds are meant to be, you will never get 100% perfect germination. The plant in picture 2 looks ok, it will grow soon enough. It always pays to plant some spare seeds, more than you intend growing, for situations just like this. That way you can pick only the healthiest specimens to grow. I usually plant, if I have them, 2-6 seeds for each strain I want to grow and then pick only the best example to continue with. While this may seem wasteful, I do not want to waste 3-6 months growing sub standard seedlings. This way you keep the seed distributors in business and are always only planting fresh seeds with the best chance of germination. I learnt a long time ago that pinning all your hopes on a single seeds can lead to disappointment. Obviously if you only have one seed there is little choice, but I prefer to have a minimum of 2 seeds for each strain I want to grow, well before starting the next crop cycle. It is the "6 Ps" principle - Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Yes it is a ph issue as long as your soil is not hot. Full of nutrition already... drinking water ph is usually alkaline. You need slightly acidic.

Soil seems like it's to hot, ( to much nutrients for those seedlings). Some seedlings burn easily from nutrients in soil, some dont. That would be my guess. They may still make it, but they may not. At this point water lightly and see what happens
