Continued lack of moisture will turn them spindly and eventually kill them as they're unable to access the nutrients they need. With tiny seeds, it's tempting to simply scatter them in one large tray and thin them as they grow, but proper spacing helps prevents leggy seedlings as well.
Calcium helps build strong cell walls within your plant and helps resist disease (which can lead to soft, drooping plants). Potassium helps strengthen your plants in the vegging stage, providing aid in developing strong branches and stems.
