I don't know what potting mix that you used but I always start mine in a soiless potting mix that contains no fertilizer and then I water them with half strength fertilizer after they get their first true leaves.
I think that some regular potting mixes may have too much fertilizer and that can be too strong for tender seedlings. Or there is always the theory that the manufacturer added too much fertilizer to the mix by accident. Too much fertilizer can definitely be toxic.

I think you hit the nail on the head! I had run out of my previous mix (which actually had some added fert, but my seedlings did really well on it). I had some Pro-mix for herbs and veggies left over from the previous season and I used that for my seedlings. I guess I won't make that mistake again!
Thanks,
