It's pretty dry in my apartment though, and I have central heat so that doesn't help. Memphis is notoriously humid but that's not really a factor with starting seeds indoors. I plan on moving the plants outside after last frost. Think I need grow lights until then?
YES!! You need lights. Your little seedlings are pale and spindly and definitely showing the effects of not enough light. It doesn't have to be fancy grow lights, ordinary fluorescents are fine. Check out the seed starting thread near the top of this (Vegetable Gardening) forum, for pictures of several different people's seed starting set ups.

I made a few changes. I'll post them at the seed starting thread.
