I have three unhappy Dwarf Adelaide Festival tomato seedlings. You can see that the six pack beyond them are as happy as can be. They were all seeded on March 1st, and have been side by side every day with the same lights, fan and water. The thriving Tomato plants behind are actually Orange Hat Micro Dwarf Tomatoes which will start producing at 6" tall and may grow as tall as twelve inches if put into a larger pot. So... the Dwarf Adelaide Festivals, which mature around 36" should be at least as tall as they are at this point. They act like they are burning, so it may be the light or the fan.
To rescue them, I transplanted them into 3.5" pots with a little Biotone Fertilizer. They are well rooted, yet nowhere near root bound, The soil was dry, but they have never wilted even once, so they have had enough water.
I made room for them under the florescent light where they still have a fan, but the fan is further away. We will see how they react to this change. Every other seedling is as happy as can be.
