I think my seedling just died... what do you think?

My seedlings had just popped yesterday and were growing in the windowsill. Last night I stuck them under the lights for the first time. About 6" away from 2 CFL 23W. With a four hour dark period from 1-5am. This morning they both have grown a lot but one looks like she didn't make it. What do you think, is there any saving her?

They are fine IMO, just tryin to make it to that light.... WHICH I WOULD MOVE CLOSER..say 3 inches, to prevent them from stretching

I moved them closer to the light (say 4" away now) but the temp went up to 86 degrees. Won't be able to get a fan in there until this afternoon. They'll be okay right?

Leave the light away from the little Chica's until you get the fan in there. Then get the light as close as possible

Dont overwater or overfeed ever. Make sure you ph is always spot on. Enjoy the process.
DON'T OVER WATER.... or OVER FEED!!!!! EVER!!!! i SECOND that!!! IT'S VERY IMPORTANT! 86 DEGREE? from 2 23 watt cfls? my digital thermometer ALWAYS reads higher if I put it close to the lights...So I put it elsewhere ( PLUS... I usually keep a zip lock slipped over them until I see 2 true sets of leaves....just to help them hold moisture) I thought that might be helpful
