Not sure what kind of soil you're using, but if it came fertilized out of the bag, it may be a little too "hot" for your seedlings. I see some perlite mixed in, but not enough in my opinion. Every commercial potting soil I've ever run across needed to be cut with at lease some perlite. It loosens the soil up and makes for much more tolerable conditions for the roots. It's too late to worry about adding it now, but in the future, definitely use more when planting into any kind of potting container.

Just keep watering like normal, and hope for the best. Don't add any fertilizers, just water. Also, if there are still significant temperature differences between day/night, you might think about bringing them inside and growing them under a couple of CFLs, then transplanting outside when they're a little more hardy, and able to tolerate outdoor conditions a little better.

Yeah it hasint been getting down past 60F at night so i dont no if that is to cold or what should i use perlite if im planting them outdoors

[Mr. Clandestine]

Roots grow better indoors when perlite is added to aerate the soil. I've noticed that outdoors they seem to grow much hardier root systems that can do without the need for lighter soil, as they generally grow much larger much faster when growing under the natural sun. But, for at least the early stages before the first transplant, I'd definitely add at least 20% perlite to the soil mix you're using.

Ok well ill try that if somethign happens to these plants in tha next couple of days
