Ok, I agree on the reasons, I am still waiting for the fun to start. I presume all of our seeds are natural. No Monsanto stamps on them. lol Maybe my fish food is garbage but I am still not happy with the amount of growth I get. The neighbor planted corn after I planted my tomato seeds and they have corn already. They started from seed also. They had to use store ferts. I only use pesky fish poo and it all by itself is not enough. Do I need to wait a year for the bed to mature? That's a good sell. Do you have any idea on how yours are doing against others not in AP? Another question is, if you bought starters what did they add to them prior to you growing them. Some starters can go awhile without adding anything but water. I can grow my own starters pretty well now, but once they are transplanted the growth slows down a lot. The starters have a T5 light and the plants sun. Maybe the T5 is better for them. It sure is brighter.
