Growing Tomatoes From Seeds

Question

I have tried to grow tomatoes from seeds, but they grow 3 or 4 inches tall and fall over. I put them under a light. What advice can you give me?

Answer 1

It may be a watering issue or damping off. Make sure you are using a sterile growing medium with no fertilizer added. These articles should help:
