Just flush them out with ph'd water and hold off on the nutes for a few weeks.
What is the medium that they are in ? Does it contain nutes? How close is the light? How often are you watering and when you water are they getting nutes each time?
When starting from seed you generally do not need any nutes for the first 30 days or so depending on the medium you are using. Back off on the nutes and you should see an improvement within a week or so.

The nursery soil will have plenty of food for them for the first 4 to 6 weeks. If it has a lot of peat or the like the soil is "hot". That stuff starts to break down once it gets wet and warm.....providing nutes, minimal but all the same. Jiffy peat pellets and the like can be used for the first 30 days or so for a seedling and I would assume your mix has something similar in it.
If you flush the plants out and just give them water for a week or two you should be fine.

your temp is fine for veg, but yeh id agree hold back on the nuits, they are still a little small the now, when i start off in soil i just use water when the pots are real dry and a couple of small drops 2ml per litre of tomato feed with seaweed extract to build them up, but i do 1 feed with the tomato feed, then next time water, then repeat till they hit vigorous growth. when you start to use your nuits keep it a real small amount agian 2 ml per litre, build it up slowley as you go, its just MO but i feel, feed then water, feed then water works well.

Yup. When you do start feeding start out at 1/4 strength and go from there. How much and how often you give nutes is dependent on the strain and conditions it is kept in.

yeh thats what id be doing, just make sure the pots are light when you lift them, when my plants are strong in their pots i feed from the bottom, its abit more hassle but works well for me, i have a couple of big cat litter trays i half fill them with either my water, or my mix like every 3rd day and sit in 2 pots at a time, i leave them sitting for about 5/10 mins the plants will draw up from the bottom just what they need from the holes in the bottom, if both of the plants in the trays suck it up dry i add more incase they want more, when there is left over in the tray they are full, i just then repeat, so get some cheap trays depending on how many plants you have, as i say its just my way, and saves flooding them to feck.

Have a play about and find what you feel best with, its hard to give alot of info when you dont know how people are fixed with space etc, some people just want to put in the min effort but want the max return, that just dont work. best of luck anyway.
