Just my opinion but I think you have a nutrient issue. What is this `bone meal fertilizerâ you used? Your plant needs more than bone meal (phosphorus).

Puckering leaves and curling indicate a Magnesium deficiency. IâÂÂd pick up a general 10-10-10 fertilizer with micro nutrients and give your plant a 1/2 strength dose of that after giving the medium in the pot a good flushing with straight water.

Just my 2 cents. Others may have other opinions / suggestions.

The fertilizer I used was Miracle Gro organic choice bone meal. 6-9-0 available at Lowes/HD. I did not mix it in strong, but I did add a fair amount to the wheelbarrow I was mixing the new soil in.

I've attached a pic of what they all look like (all tucked into the garage for the night - mid 40s here). The smaller seedlings are a bit more yellow than I'd like.

I have a fertilizer called Essential Elements which is a 4-3-3 organic sold by Len Pense / Pensaroda Farms in MO which I can use - tablespoon per pot?

With the MG Bone Meal 6-9-0 do you still suggest I flush with straight water even though I didn't go very heavy?

I also have some Neptune Harvest Fish Emulsion (2-4-1) and also NH Seaweed (0-0-1) I could use for quicker absorption or so I assume.

I've tried to errr on the side of less feeding, but this is my first year really starting peppers and tomatoes from seed so I'm in a very learning mode even though I want them to turn out right.

I'm about 10-15 days from putting them in the garden since our temps have warmed and are forecasted to be warm (nights in the lower to mid 50s) through mid-April, but I want them to be in good shape before I put them out.

This is side to the main question, but the plants are roughly 1' tall and some are putting out a few flowers. Should these first flowers be pinched off to focus energy on plant growth instead of fruit production?
