Looking for some advice, please. I've successfully grown tomatoes from seed for years and for the first time, I'm running into what seems like an assortment of problems with about half my seedlings, regardless of variety. For the past week, I've noticed that some leaves are curling, others have purple undersides, clearly some are yellowing and yes, a few branches have fallen off.
All of my other starts – peppers, ground cherries, celery and rosemary look great (pepper pic included for context).
As far as care, there is a fan lightly blowing on my grow shelves, I bottom water when the top layer of dirt appears dry and brought the tomatoes outside for the first time yesterday, where they spent 2 hours, in full shade. I've never fertilized my tomato starts in the past but I'm guessing what's happening is a nutritional deficiency of sorts. Any suggestions? TIA!

The purple is normal coloration for specific varieties. The others are turning yellow due to nutrients deficiency. At that size you’ll need a bigger pot per plant. As is, you are doubled up in too small of a pot for even a single plant.
