Start in smaller solo cups to build root structure and you will be able to monitor the moisture of the soil better.

I'm using burpbee with cocoa mix especially for seedlingsWhat growing medium are you using... just regular dirt? I would suggest getting a medium that doesn't hold as much water. Regular dirt doesn't seem to work well unless it is fortified or built up a little. If the soil is too wet, the roots can't get the oxygen that they need to grow and thrive. If the roots can't flourish, especially at the beginning, the plant won't grow much.
I use Promix, which holds just the right amount of water. If you are having trouble, I would recommend somethin like Promix since it is very forgiving and unlikely to have problems unless you overfeed things. Promix is treated to keep the Ph near 7, so lockouts aren't likely. Sunlight is great, but you will need a lot of it to get a decent plant. Plants grown in anything but full sun don't grow as well.

Using burpbee with cocoa especially for seedlingsJust have to tell you promix is set at 6.3 ph.

Thank youthrow that burpee away or use it with something else. it has coco, and if you dont know how to grow in that you will experience what you are currently. get some soil, fox farms happy frog is good one to start in, and use a solo cup with 4 holes in the bottom. feel the weight of the drier soil after you fill the cup.
when you water it, drench it. let the water run through the bottom of cup. then dont water again until the cup is light like when you put soil in it. Should be nearly a week the first time.
Thanks for the info. The last time I checked the Ph it was a tad under 7, but that was after dosing it with some wood ashes which can bump up the Ph. I would imagine there is some variation in their QC as well since the amount of lime has a direct effect on the Ph. They seem to do a good job for the most part, but I have heard stories about wide Ph swings. But then again, I hear stories about bigfoot being seen behind Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, too.Just have to tell you promix is set at 6.3 ph.
