AR, I saw your other thread about seedlings being small and in my case I was having the same issues this year as you and I attribute it to under watering. I moved my seedlings/ lighting/ shelves etc into a closet this year to get them off the bar. Much better set up but the problem is I was having trouble seeing or reaching some of the seedlings in the back. I noticed when I went to pot up all the ones that seemed to be lagging behind in growth were nearly dried out. Since repotting I have kept up better with the watering and apply a diluted organic fertilizer and they seem to be recovering nicely. Hopefully no lasting effects.
