I planted them on June 22nd, the seeds were from 2004 and were on a hot trailor for about 4 months, I thought they were not going to sprout but 50% did so I was happy about that, I've planted some Lumpy red and Kellogs Breakfast and they seem to be healthy plants my problem is that they are only grew about 3 inches in about 5 weeks, is this normal? I thought that they should be a lot taller than that. Is this due to the fact that they were old seed. I forgot to mention that I have all my seedlings on growlights so I think they should have plenty of light. I also feed my seeds with some worm compost tea when I transplanted them for the first time so what am I doing wrong?
