I dont start to feed my plants until theres true leafs, and I start with a diluted solution. I like to use Neptunes harvest fish and seaweed half strength for the first week of feeding.

If properly hardened off, tomato plants can take tmps down to 40 F overnight.
but for seedlings growing indoor, under light avg. temps of 70 F is probably optimal

tomato plants can take coll teperatures all the way down to 40F, provided they are hardened off.
But for seedlings, I think, 65-75F is optimal
