Chlorosis in seedlings...???
I have seedlings (below are Northern Exposure seedlings...showing red freckling on petioles! yay!) that have darker veins on a lighter leaf. This is in many of my seedlings, not just N.E.
Is this a deficiency of some sort? Chlorisis? Need for more fertilizer?
Thank you!

I have had lots look like that, they all seem to come around. Pretty hard to discourage seedlings.

This is my first time with seeds, too, and it is a blast! I have some that sprouted all green and looked very boring, but when they put on the second leaves, some of them look quite different. I am having fun watching them. They all stayed the same for awhile, it seemed and now they have really taken off growing. Fun, fun, fun!

I, agree, ademink. My green ones all looked exactly the same 10 days ago. In fact I considered dumping the whole tray. But I am glad I didn't because the second leaves are much more interesting! I think I had my lights to close before and they were sunburned, thereby stopping them from developing properly. I figure even if I get a bunch of plain green ones, I can sell them at the farmer's market for a buck and at least get my money back from my seed purchases on ebay! These seeds though, were ones I collected off Frances Williams, Olive Bailey Langdon, and Abiqua Drinking Gourd x OP. But they have produced a few variegated ones and a few that look like they may have streaks, and the new leaves are all different shapes and sizes.
