Tomato seedlings sick already? Help!

First time growing from seed. Some bumps on the stem and then this! The leaves were totally healthy, then started curling upward, now have totally drooped. What's wrong?

Looks like edema from over-watering. The dropping leaves could be due to root rot, also from over-watering. What potting mix are you using? What is your watering regimen?

Below is a link to an older thread here at GW that comes up if you do a Google search or even a search here at GW.

I agree with Dave that it tends to look like edema and think the thread below is very helpful as are several other links that show up with a general Google search.

And lots of pictures in the link below as well as via a Google search.

Thanks for the advice! They seem a bit happier now with less frequent watering.

Increase the light levels, too. The plants are very leggy.
