I don't think I'm succeeding 🙁 But have faith that I will.

It needs light. And food. What soil?

If you wanna save it , you have to plant a deeper and give it some actual light that it doesn’t have to reach for.
What are you feeding it?
Did you start another seed and keep the lights really close?

* The light needs to be close to the seedling.
This seedling that you have here has been reaching for the light, or else it fell over, and it might have some damp off.

I would repot it deep, get the light closer to the top and only water from below.

Super, super leggy. Good luck if you go on with it.

You mentioned “fertilized soil.” What’s the composition of the soil and fertilizer? What percentages?

It’s done. Start over. Download app, check PAR value (or something like that) to make sure your lights are sufficient. They’re either not or somethings wrong with the plant, maybe really bad genetics lottery

Did you cover it up with the paper towel when potted? Looks like when I grow beansprouts to eat.

– That pots too big, you have to water it well so all the soil is wet.. and its probably making the tomatoes roots rot. -Its better to start seeds in smaller containers and then repot into bigger ones as they grow, along with their roots. -Also doesnt look like enough sun, hense the yellow shade of the leaves.. plants need sunlight to photosynthesis

Give up on this one. I usually try to germinate 10 seeds to get about 7-8 healthy plants. As everyone has said it looks too spindly. At 4 weeks it’s mostly lack of light. Too much water can also cause it to look flabby. Make sure your pots have drain holes.
Usually it has nice 2nd growth leaves at this 4wks time. Only after 3 or 5 weeks do I start on a weak fertilizer which I know because the leaves start to turn my light yellow.
