Hey man, the seedlings that did germinate are now getting fert burned by the soil. Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil? That has lots of organic nutrients in it. Contrary to popular belief, organic fertilizers can burn too.

Don't over water. You know they need water when you stick your finger 2 inches deep in the soil and it feels dry.

You seem to be having germination problems. Here is the easiest way to do it. Take a nice seed, place it in some paper towel, spray paper towel w/water containing a few drops of bleach, place paper towel in zip lock baggie not sealed, place baggie on your desk top computer for heat, check seed every 12 hours and spray with the water if towel has dried out. When a tiny tap root forms, place it 1/4 inch deep in pre-moistened soil, cover the lid of the pot with saran wrap to keep the soil moist. You do NOT want to water the soil once the seed is in the dirt because the water can dislodge it. Remove saran wrap the instant you see the seedling poking through soil and put fan and lights on the plant. Water only after soil is dry 2 inhes down. Very simple.
