You should ph at 6.5 give or take. Go 18-6, no need for 24. I wouldn't worry when they so little.

Some appear to be stretching a bit. Also get some air blowing around them. Rotate the cups. around as some are turning for light.

With cfl, better if lights are sideways.

Also, you should not be watering daily. Let them dry out. When small, I wait for the soil to pull away from the sides of the cup before watering.

You should be okay for a little while. I hope you someplace larger to move them. You will outgrow that box quickly!!!

Those brown tips can be either nute burn or light/heat burn.

Your lights look plenty far away, but is the grow box staying reasonably cool?

If it is not overheating I would guess your planting medium is a little hot. Pretty common I think with little seedlings in certain soil mixes. If that's the case it will adapt and take off.
