Hi everyone. This is my first year ever starting these seeds and I was wondering if I could get everyone’s advice
On where I went wrong.
Here’s some context
Seedlings:
S= Alpine strawberry seeds (Started 2 months ago – germinated over 1 month ago)
– They germinated really well but then growth stunted and most of them ended up dying
– I started hardening them off once I saw the true leaves sprouting – over a 2 week period ( Slowly taking off the moisture done and moving them to full sun)
– Seeding mix is coco-pete & vermiculite (1:1:1) – I got stressed and sprinkled a bit of compost around the remaining seedlings earlier today
M = Apple Mint seeds (Started 2 months ago – germinated over 1.5 month ago)
– Germinated fast but growth stunted and alot died
– Was really green and luscious
– Seeding mix ( coco-pete & vermiculite & compost 1:1:1)
The green seedlings are basil plants for reference. (Started 2 months ago – germinated over 1.5 month ago). They had stunted for a bit of time but is finally somewhat growing in the last week.
Watering/ Fertilising
– I soaked then I’m water when coco Pete turns brown / is dry
– I used a diluted seasol twice on them with 2 weeks in between
Weather
– Used to be quite cold with nighttime reaching 1-3C and afternoon around 20C. This week is warmer at nighttime 11C and afternoon 20C-25C
– Germinated in outdoor shade in moisture domes. Took them off when seedlings started getting true leaves. Slowly moved them outside to full sun over 1 week. Currently full sun
I’m just looking to see if there’s any wisdom you guys would be able to pass onto me and help me with this issue.

I’ve never had luck with Bunnings flower seeds, but warmth is key depending on what you’re growing, Try a heat mat
I’ve had this problem when they are over watered (Rain or watering). They are likely not going to take. It’s not the seeds, it’s the conditions
