I doubt it’s that, simply because they’re all looking so terrible so early… one of the ugliest things about HPLVD is that it’s latent. The plants will look mostly fine until they encounter enough of a stress to trigger it, at which point they’re duds. That’s worse because it gives people opportunities to pass it on to their whole garden, but in this case it tells us it’s probably not that specific issue. That said, I’d also toss these plants and maybe even get rid of the medium you’re growing them in. They certainly look infected with something… apparently this has been an issue before with the Azad Kashmir seeds from @Worcestershire_Farms. Not sure it ever became clear what it was, but I don’t think any of us want it or any other viroids, and they certainly can be passed through seed.
