United States

I am once again in need of your advice : ) I started my seeds in mid january and thankyou all for your advice regarding that. I was lucky to have decently good success for my first time. I started Dahlias (seeds) Platycodon, Bellflower, Coneflower, Butterfly plant, Snapdragons, Viola jump ups and cherry tomatoes. I had about a 90% germination rate and everything is going well. The Platycodon and bellflower seem to be very slow growing and are still quite small but are on their second set of leaves. All the rest are growing quickly and looked good UNTIL..... a few days ago. When I noticed the tomatoes yellowing slightly. Then I noticed on some of the other seedlings a little bit of browing/yelling on just the very tips of the leaves. Otherwise theyve been doing so well until now. Yesterday I watered with half strength miracle gro plant food. They are all in peat pots in trays and are bottom watered when I see them getting dry. I also mist spray the top of the soil to help keep it moist. They are under the hydrofarm 4 foot grow light on a 24-0 schedule. Any help is very appreciated!!

Fertilizer is probably what they needed the most, though I would start a day and night cycle, gradually going to a 14 hours on, 10 hours off schedule.
