Hello Everyone! Glad to have found this forum.
Some outdoor grow experience in zone 4/5 with great results.

Wanted to get a head start this year with a grow tent and lights and things are not good!
Jelp me obi wan kenobi, you're my only hope!

Welcome to the farm! Lots of knowledgeable folks here to help you get figured out!

Indoor and outdoor are different beasts. Lots of equipment involved in an indoor grow due to having to maintain humidity temp and airflow correctly, not as simple as just a light and tent unfortunately. Got pics of the plant?

No, originally, i was 18/6 grow light. I took them out today for sun, and i may leave them out to see if they improve.

Careful those little seedlings get very burnt even with 70f temps it's just the sun is soo powerful on tiny plants. I'd only leave them inside even next to a window. Just be careful

It’s hard to pinpoint. Could be a mixture of a couple of things. Best bet is to make sure you are watering adequately and don’t switch between natural and synthetic light it’s a baby so it’s sensitive.

Still plenty of time to catch and fix the problem so don’t fret.

How close to the plant was your light?

150 is a high wattage for seedlings I run my ViparSpectra on 25-50% most of the way through veg and that’s a 150w light
 
#12
also not seeing any red from your light, does it have a switch for veg and bloom?
 
#16
I’m using a ViparSpectraXS1500 pro

I’m now leaning towards your light being the issue. Veg does call for less reds but you still need ‘em. Is the dimmer easy to remove?

What size is your space?
Click to expand...
Space is 3 feet long, 5 feet high, 1.5 deep.

I have some tomatoes that are showing similar signs, some leaves dried out, and yellowing of some others. Peppers are doing great though. Dimmer can be easliy removed.

I Added some pictures. Usually i do everything by seed in the window. Last year i had one of those LED herb gardens that i started my crops in and it worked great so i decided to upgrade this year lol
