While the experts are diagnosing the problem, I wanted to chime in on the Espoma. Its a fairly rich seed starting medium. In the future I would hold off a little longer and start gradually with something milder like fish emulsion or a fertilizer balanced for seedlings. I use a starter from Fertilome and the tiny jar has lasted over two years and quite a bit is still left. There are many other options, experts on here have developed their own products. My neighbor uses worm castings exclusively.
