Tomato Seedling Problems

10 years ago

Within the last few days my heirloom tomato seedlings have been looking HORRIBLE! Some of the leaves are looking burned, others are yellow, some are just clearly about to die. I planted them in Baccto Light in small peat pots (maybe 1 inch?) with F17/T8 GL lights (7800K) on Saturday March 12. I have included a picture of the Baccto light package so you can see what's in it. I have had a fan on them for the last week or two, I use tap water but I let it set out overnight because I have heard that our tap water has a lot of chloramine. I just potted them up yesterday in an effort to save them, and their roots looked very small. I was expecting them to be hard to pull out of the peat pots, but this was not the case at all. My other plants, especially my basil, don't look great, but they don't look anywhere near as bad as the tomatoes.

I used these grow lights two other years and I don't recall these

problems. I know Baccto light is used by some farms around here to start their seeds so I don't think that is an issue.

Many thanks for your help.
