Little seedlings are struggling

Hey friends,

Have 3 little seedlings that are struggling. Currently in organic potting mix after reporting into bigger pots. Have added perlite and am being very cautious with over watering. Waiting until soil is dry and watering about every 5 days. They were in direct sunlight and appeared to be getting burnt. Am now in a spot where they get around 3-4 hours direct sun. Average temps 16-28 degrees Celcius with humidity 50-65%. Yesterday I removed from pots and added charcoal to the base and repotted and added the little support sticks. I am really close to the ocean am wondering if that salty air could be hurting them. Perhaps the pots are too big? Have just ordered a pH tester that will arrive soon.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ๐Ÿ™

making extract concentrate

been making khat syrup using the following steps

  1. harvesting and clearing the hard stems

  2. chopping in the blender with water (that's the trickiest part - need patience and a good blender)

  3. cooking it (basically making tea) for 4-5 hours on low fire. just under boiling temperature.

  4. after you cook, strain with cloth.

  5. vaporize the liquids on low fire again. this stage depends on the amount of water used in the first place.

on average i get around 150ml of concentrate for 1KG of khat leaves.

  1. you should get a very, very dense liquid. just when you can't vaporize anymore. add a bit sweetner like maple or date syrup.

i know this goes against intuition.

but the result are surprisingly strong, effective, and durable.

the syrup can easily stand 3 months in the fridge and still be effective. 2-3 droppers of liquid straight under the tongue, and you got a great energy booster.

I'm still investigating and decided to share this info for you people to experiment as well.

I'd like to have more information and more conclusions from people who tried something similar.

please let me know if you tried this, or willing to try, and let me know how it went

Curious

Can anyone help me figure out how to avoid coming across Khat here in South USA? I donโ€™t know my way around the internet well enough to find out where not to go, so that I may not accidentally run into the plant. I wouldnโ€™t want to come across the powdered form or the plant itself. Please help. Please excuse me if Iโ€™m breaking any rules by asking how to avoid this magnificent plant.
