Hi Everyone,
First time growing from seeds and first time Gardner, really. I seem to be having some good success with my cucumbers, pepper plants, lettuce and a few others. However I noticed my tomato seedlings are on the thin side and have taken on a purple like stem.
I’ve read that it’s either a lack of phosphorous and/or the temperature. I pulled the heat mats all my seedlings once they sprouted, they in a basement which hovers below 65-70 degrees.
I’m curious which route I should take to help ensure they’re being fed properly.
For context: I planted seeds 10 days ago and pulled the heat mats and humidity domes 6 days ago.
First pic is my peppers, second are some other vegetables growing for reference and last is the tomato plants in question. (Yes, planning to thin! )
Appreciate any help!
