    Hiya.
    It could be any number of things, too much water, too dry an atmosphere, too hot at times. As with most things, I always try to think about what a plants natural situation is, and in this case I would have them outside at every opportunity, only bringing them in when a frost is forecast until you're ready to plant out in a couple/few weeks time. Don't overwater but at the same time don't allow to dry out.

    Edit : Probably no need to bring them in on a cold night, just cover them.

      Looks a bit like scorch.
      Not a plant to molly coddle, as Freddy says..
      I'd have probably sowed the seed outside.
