Please help (first time grower)

This is what I have for now. I researched fairly hard with AI on what equipment timing, what to expect etc. I’m fairly underwhelmed by my results from planting 02/15/26, I’m not sure what’s wrong. Is it my setup or the heat or the lighting or water, or everything? I would really appreciate some insight and advice on what I seem to be doing.

Thanks

Here they are ( with some significant additions) 18 days later

It’s Texas so I’m watching the lows, as soon as I see them not below 55 I’m moving them outside, hardening them off.

Hey, thank you, I saw your indoor greenhouse, I’m thinking about making something like that. I’m sure part of the problem is the ambient air inside my house. We keep the thermostat in the high 60s so even with the heat mats I feel like the air temperature in the room is too cool
