WAY too soon to worry about ferts, I think. You can easily kill/harm tomato babies with kindness.

Well, I think the babies are doing fine in the garage (attached). Of course, it is SoCal. My outside temps are running 75F max and 50F min this week. There is a chance still that we can get frost (before March 1). In that case I guess my garage would be down to 36-40 (guessing). What do you think?

If you are concerned about low temps (and you probably don't need to), run your lights all night if it gets below 50 to give them some warmth. Don't worry, tomatoes can't tell time in a closed garage.

Even the change to daylight savings time doesn't seem to confuse them very much.
I use my lights at night in an unheated garage from germination to hardening.
