Most likely it is nute burn. Not sure what procedure is for seedlings, but when nute burn is present in more mature plants, you flush the pot with 3x the amount it holds. example: 5 gall pot, 15 gallons to flush. 10 gallon, 30 gallons to flush. This rids all nutrients in the soil so you can get started on a clean slate. hope this info helps somehow.

So what can i do for her should i just let it dry out a bit and use water or flush it out cos the new leaves look really healthy

I would just let her be. You're u don't want to drown her and that rockwool will hold a lot more water if you try a flush. Make sure the rockwool is still damp to the touch, and just let her go til transplant

Cfls run cool. So a couple inches away. As long as your hand can't feel heat, she shouldn't. I'd say another 7-10days. You want a good amount of roots before you transplant
