These plants were just about to come out of their seedling germination
trays and were under lights and over warmth.

Ah well. Big, but not big enough. My sympathies anyway. Been there,
done that.

Does this perhaps mean that the nitrogen gets bound up
by microorganisms which use it for their own nefarious growth
agendas?

You mean Shrub? I'll have to look into that;-)

Not sure what you mean there. I meant soil microorganisms (fungi)
utilizing nitrogen for growth rather like the way phosphates and
nitrates feed plankton.
Just speculating - I don't know enough about the process, but for
nitrogen to promote microorganism/fungal growth there must be a direct
relationship.
