I noticed some leaves starting to fall off and yellowing. I’m new to this, any suggestions would be appreciated 🙏
I’m in Michigan

Few things to do now: 1. Every time you water, add in a low dose of a liquid fertilizer – this should help with the yellowing 2. Separate each seedling it in its own cell – called “up potting” 3. Put thaw on their own shelf with the light a little bit higher if possible
You’re doing great!

Thin these out, pot them up, and bury the stems. If you do fertilize, dilute it.

Purple leaves are usually caused by low phosphorous uptake and your seedlings are signaling it’s time to give their roots more space and nutrients by up-potting. The little hairs on the stem can grow into additional roots, so bury 3/4 of the stem in potting mix when you upsize your pots. Yeah, it seems weird to bury that much of the plant but you’ll be rewarded with a healthy root system and a strong leader stem.

They need to be repotted in a larger container with the long stems buried deep. They are too leggy right now.

It looks like the yellow leaves that are falling off are the seed leaves, the cotyledons. Those are gonna come off regardless. The light seems to be added an inappropriate height for the height. They are at now, but they could use an up pot. If you do up, put them and bury those stems deeper just make sure that light stays about an inch or two above.
