That foil shade you're using isn't allowing enough air to circulate around your seedlings. It's probably also keeping them a little warmer than necessary. CFLs can be put within inches of the leaves, as long as there's adequate ventilation. And seedlings especially benefit from a bit of a draft, if for nothing else than to strengthen the main stem.

You might also think about getting them into individual, smaller pots to start with... fairly soon too, or your roots are going to get intertwined. And your soil should provide enough nutrients for a couple more weeks without the need for fertilizer. Check out the FAQs, and spend some serious time reading through the posts in the grow forums. There's more information there than you'll know what to do with!

Good luck. :jointsmile:
