I have only just started mine off, over the years I have got later and later with them, the growing hours of light and warmth (  ) allow the later sowings to catch up very quickly. Perhaps start a fresh lot off if they look like the are weak.

I started the same in propergators then planted them into pots upto the first leaves and left them in a heated greenhouse around 10c.  They have slowed down nicely and are growing at a much more sedate rate.

If you have them under a bench perhaps put them onto the topso they can get a bit more light?

Or use DD's famous technique of putting a length of aluminum foil behind the seedlings to better distribute light. Once they have several sets of leaves you might want to pinch the top bit off to send out more side growth. I've only just put my own seeds in to start.

Don't think you can do this to tomato seedlings unless they are bush types. I am sure you need the top growing point left on for greenhouse cordon tomato plants.  :blink:

I was thinking this too! maybe Canadians do it differently?
