I'm growing tomatoes from seed for the first time this year and my giant seed plants are about 16" tall right now and are still in my greenhouse. I think they would be taller but the tops (stems not leaves) are curling almost like a corkscrew. The only fertilizer I've given them is some liquid kelp and the leaves are all green with no yellowing. I'd appreciate some advice. Thanks!

I diluted the liquid kelp per instructions and I'm growing the 3.94 Pennington. I'm beginning to think it's a genetic thing since my heirlooms aren't doing it.

I had some stems curling as well. I think it was as a result of too much soil soup / nutrients being applied to the plants. I lightened up on the feeding and they are now growing upwards again.
