Red Stem and Twisting Leaves in Seedling a Problem or Overreaction?

@Mohican power was almost all the way down, and I turned it all the way. Moved it up another foot to around 4 feet above the sprout. I’d rather it stretch at this stage of life and so far it’s trudging along, no stretch really so I like where it’s at

temps are 68-73, RH is low 60’s to mid 70’s

good to know about the breath, literally just swapped the cup for one with no holes and breathed into it

@MICHI-CAN second set of true leaves or the second set total right after cotyledon? Just so I’m sure

Second true set. Heat should be 70-78F with 75F being ideal. Adjust your light height by watching plant stretch. You want a short stocky base to support those colas.

This was my first time using one of these Burpie self-watering seed starter trays. I bought them a couple of years ago when I was going to start a couple hundred seeds. The instructions said to keep the domes on. That was a new one for me so I tried it. Then I took it off and almost killed the seedlings. That was an interesting result I had not expected. I know Subcool would put ziplock bags over his clones until they were growing well. It is definitely something I am going to try in the future.

No - I was saying that you can see the damage on the leaves that I was seeing before I put the dome back on. I didn't remove it. I did transplant the seedlings to pots and now I am using a taller dome. I'll take some pics.

Here is the dome I am using now - the plants are almost touching the top so I will probably stop using it today.
I sprayed the inside of the dome last night and now it is completely dry.

Here is a picture with the Kessil LED lights on, color corrected, and dome removed.
