My seed starting skills need practice lol between inattention and the light being too low these tomatoes aren't looking good.

Something I need to practice too. This was my second year starting seeds and the seedlings turned out better than last year, but they're still kinda sad looking.
The best way to learn gardening is by killing plants 😁
Still do it all the time. It does help to learn from it and so you atleast try not to do again though!
Give those tomatoes some seaweed, it helps in nearly all situations when you stress a plant out.
I’ve recently started pulling aquatic (freshwater) vegetation out of my friends pond for mulch. I’m sure it’s not as nutrient dense as seaweed, but it works really good. No weed seed spread with it and it’s insanely prolific
Seaweed is good it's has a lot of micronutrients and growth regulating things like auxins in them.
If what your putting on works that's great. Might be worth seeing if you can pair it with some biology to see if you can make it even better though.
Quite a few people permaculture related people are working on a plant nutrient database. So in the near future we should have a better idea of what we are dealing with for all plants.
Keep on it! I’m not great in those initial stages, my husband gets all the plants started and planted, then I take over in the garden. It’s a nice trade off.
Every year you’ll learn more and it takes very little to trial more plants in the winter and experiment with hydroponics to sharpen your starter skills.
I’ve been seed starting for quite a few years now. But this year it was a complete failure. Still haven’t figured out what happened but it happened.
