[QUOTE="BDub, post: 157306, member: 448"] Sounds like too much water. Make sure you have drainage in every container. For seed starting I use Burpee seed starter mix from menards. I do it the hard way. I have a bunch of old storage containers that I start with. Fill about 1.5 inches of moistened mix. Then sprinkle seeds over the top, followed by a thin coat of moistened soil. Then I put them on a heat pad with a cover. The same kits they sell all over. As soon as the first pops up I put them under the lights. After the first set of real leaves pops open I gently separate them into individual pods. Now here is the deal. I always bury the tomatoes a bit just like when I put them in the garden. This way if some are long and spindly they will grow stout. Over the years I have used several types of fertilizer on the young plants. But by far Neptune organic fish fertilizer half strength is the best. The last two years my peppers and tomatoes were greener and stouter than ever. [/QUOTE]
