Re: Yellow leaves on tomato seedlings - advice, please!

The comments on light levels for my tomatoes are interesting ones.  About
2 months ago, I attended a talk by an agriculture professor from the Un
of MN on seeds and seedlings.  Their research showed that seedlings have
a very high tolerance for light and have no problems with 18-24 hours/
day.  These levels can be continued for up to 6 weeks, at which time the
photosynthesis mechanism does need  a rest.
Based on everyone's kind comments, I'm going to give them 16 hr of light
(thanks Henry), water with half-strength 5-10-5  (thanks, Robert), and
keep the fertilizer off the leaves (thanks Diana).
