Default Seedlings' leaves have brown edges

Seedlings: Basil and cilantro
Soil: Jiffy peat pots
Lighting: Flourescent, about 4 inches from seedlings.
Water Source: Tap
Water Age: 5 minutes (from tap to planter)

Otherwise, the seedlings look healthy, and are growing.


Lose the fertilizer or whatever that stuff is. Unless you have your own well
and don't add chlorine, age the tap water in an open container for at least
a couple of days, to allow chlorine to dissipate. If you have a water
softener, consider using bottled water for the plants, or collecting
rainwater.
