Try a half strength dose of some fertilizer with nitrogen in it and make sure that it is receiving enough light.
Seedlings generally do not need as much fertilizer as what is in the MG soil or any at all for that matter until they get a bigger root system and grab a foothold. If it was me I would not feed at all for now and I would gently move them to nute free soil and just give them pure water for a spell only when needed
Good Luck... and Mikkyd suggestions are solid!

This particular soil doesn’t compact too much and appears to be the best of the various I have, all are potting types which is what I can get here. The amount of soil on the cup is not much, it goes a bit more than ½ the total volume.
The foam cups have holes at the bottom but I have a second cup (transparent) outside to receive the drained water that fits tight. There is always some drained water on the outside cup, if it’s too much I empty it.
Light is sparse, they sit on a window with a good reflecting white wall outside and receive some direct sunlight in the morning through a mosquito net. Temperature varies between 60 and 90ºF aprox.
Seeds are from Pepperlover, 7 pod primo, indian carbon, dorset and some others.
Thanks guys for your help

Cool..so what I can gather from your data...the second cup is probably not allowing air to flow...plants, roots, dirt need air..perhaps there is another way to catch the excess water? Toss the second cup....!!!
If not everything will stagnate and rot....Also you need much more light...perhaps a cheap clamp on light with a 6500K CFL bulb in there is better then only morning light....you should have at least 16-18 hours of light for peppers and tomatoes....Be well

Cool...así que lo que he entendido en los datos... la segunda copa es probablemente no para permitir que el aire fluya... plantas, raíces, tierra necesitan aire..quizá no hay otra manera de atrapar el exceso de agua? Saltear la segunda taza...!!!
Si no todo se pudrió... También necesita mucha más luz... quizás una abrazadera de luz barata con un 6500K lámpara fluorescente compacta (CFL) es mejor, a continuación, sólo luz de la mañana... usted debe tener por lo menos 16-18 horas de luz para los pimientos y los tomates bien....
