| Some of my small tomatoe seedlings are curling up? |

| They look a bit dry. They do close up at night though. Linda |

| Normal, although I agree that your soil looks dry in the pic and inconsistent (dry,wet, dry, wet) soil moisture levels can trigger the same response in very young seedlings. Dave |

| If you are using fluorescents as light source, keep the bulbs to no farther than 2".. I think 1/2" is ideal. This way they will stay straight up and become sturdy rather than curled and leggy. JMO |

| Is that one curling or are the tips of the cotyledons still caught in the seed coat? |
