I Am Growing Bur Oaks From Acorns. Some Of The Seedlings’ Leaves Are Losing Color And Turning White, The Leaves Feel Dry, And So

me leaves are curling. What is happening? The majority of the acorns were planted November 2021. The rest were planted mid-January 2022. They are in containers. I water them every other day, as I was instructed by someone locally who also grows these trees. They are in full sun now but previously were in about 6-8 hours of sun a day. The rest started thriving when they got to full sun! But these in the images are not. I can’t understand what is different with these. I am located in central Texas. Thank you for your help!

Try giving them a light application of a balanced fertilizer. If it's bacterial leaf scorch there is no cure. These articles should help:
