Hello everyone,

i am having real proplem getting my plant to start, starting from germination and so on. Now finally i got the plant start and break the surface. from the begining the plant was not doing as expected. The leaves and kinda pointy, curled down,and not open as healthy leaves, it is pale green like as it is gonna turn to yellow, now the edge of the main tip turned to dark brown, and light brown 1 or 2 spots in the center of the leaf now it is only one leave with the spots but more leaves with brown main tip (the very far of the stem). I am gowing outside because it didnt start inside. it is sunny here and temp is 35C. also i dont know what is the history of the soil it is old find it outside but i am sure it used to be a bag soil not dirt from the backyard. I have no idea what is the ph of the soil because i couldnt find a tester here. i water with tab water which is 6.3-7.0. i know i am going through hell because of lack of equipment and soil but that what i got around , i am in the middle of nowhere. i want troublshoting based on the pictures because i know it would help knowing what is going on but this is what i got and i have to deal with it if i would succeed. note: the seeds are from a good dutch seeds bank.
any help to save them will be high appreciated.

Maybe that old soil had something in it? They look terrible, I would get them into some good soil asap! If you are using tap water, are you letting it set out to get the chlorine out? Or if it is city water it could have chloromine in it that you will need a special chemical to get it out. Something needs to happen soon, or those kids aren't going to make it!
 
i will search for new soil this weekend. and yes I let the tab water to sit min 24 hours before watering. i will keep posting for the progress.
