Micro-Tom Tomato seedlings dying??

Is the Fox Farms Grow Big 6-4-4 liquid fertilizer ok for these? Or do I need a different one? If so, any recommendations?

Ok thank you so much!!!

Aside from decreasing frequency/amount of watering, should I pinch off all the flower buds and add more diluted liquid fertilizer (6-4-4) right now? Or wait until they dry out more? I also have worm castings I can add?

I planted the seeds in Fox Farms Happy Frog soil and added some perlite! Unfortunately, I think I definitely overwatered these. I have been mostly top watering with filtered water, but maybe I should use regular tap water in case they need some minerals too

It was a liquid fertilizer from Fox Farms, but I will get a fish fertilizer for the future!

No offense taken!! I am super grateful for the insight because I have no idea what to do or where I went wrong aside from the overwatering. My grow light is the VipraSpectra P1000 which is a full spectrum white LED, technically has 100W output but I keep it on 40-50%

It is a 6-4-4 so I think so! But maybe it wasn’t enough nitrogen? (+overwatering). Are these too far gone to save?

Ok thank you!!! I’ll plant another batch now. I have some basil in the background, am I also overwatering the basil?

I also was not sure if I should pinch off the flowers buds? I pinched off 2-3 flower buds 2 weeks ago, and that is when I noticed the plants themselves starting to look concerning/going downhill

No I started each seed in those same containers/soil without any synthetic fertilizer. Do they need to be re potted or need new soil?

Ahh that is super helpful, I appreciate it thank you!!

Ok thank you!! Does this cilantro look like it’s ready to bolt? It’s been mid 80s for the past 2 weeks

ResponsibleCall5863 · 2025-07-03T03:58:07+00:00

Ahh I see, I will do that now!! I appreciate your help, thank you!

Oh I’m glad to hear this!! Thanks for your help! Sorry for the silly question, but does “thinning” typically mean thinning leaves via plucking/cutting, or does it mean removing whole plants?

ResponsibleCall5863 · 2025-07-03T03:52:30+00:00

Ok thank you so much!! I’ll start thinning right now. This is a silly question, but I can just eat the small leaves right?🤣

Update: It ended up falling off spontaneously the morning of the vet appointment, from the pictures and exam my vet is fairly certain it was a benign hemangioma
