Yesterday, I brought the rest of the seedlings up to the greenhouse so I could shut down all the heat/light in plant room & save $$. Got my first good look at the eggplant (Aubergine) seedlings and I think I've probably lost most of them. After 3 weeks they have no true leaves showing and the growing tip on many of them looks withered. Not sure what happened but I'm starting another batch right now just in case these really don't make it. Some ok?

@richrollgardener this looks like a calcium deficiency to me. Nightshades are heavy feeders. You do have true leaf buds on either side of the main stem, so all is not lost. Check your soil pH as well. If it's off, they won't uptake nutrients. They like slightly acidic soil.
