	Causes of weak spindly seedlings
Temperatures too high:	During seed starting times, keep the greenhouse temperatures in the 70's during the day, and in the low to mid 50's at night.
Not enough light:	Seedlings reach to the light. Keep seedlings under fluorescent lights about 16 hours a day. Place the lights a couple of inches above the plants.
Not enough air movement:	Have a fan running gently near the plants at all times. This helps them grow stocky and also prevents damping off fungus. Also, brushing your plant tops gently with your fingers for a couple of minutes a day will help them grow stocky.
Seeds planted too deep or soil surface was too dry:	Seeds have a limited amount of energy to push themselves up through the soil.
Not enough food:	Once you see true leaves, give the plants weak solutions of fertilizer.
