Had 3 plants out and never got passed 2 leaf stage. Plant just wont grow for some reason. I've planted 6 watermelon and 3 died and one just got out of its shell yesterday. They got plenty of sun and water.. Anyone else having a tough time?

yeah mine are off to a slow start.replaced a few plants.I think cut worms been nawing on my graft.How much water were you giving them? The only thing I can think that would stop a plant is to much water waterlogged.to much ferts or not enough nitrogen or deleted soil But I guess it could be a lot of things did you do a soil test?
