Seedling stem turning brown.

Hello all. Im currently growing fem green crack x core seeds from crop king seeds in fox farm happy frog mixed with 10% perlite. Seeds popped 3 days ago and were planted in the soil. Yesterday they had risen to the surface and exposed their Cotyledons. Today they have their first set of leaves but noticed some discoleration on the base of the stem. Could this be early signs of them damping off? They look healthy besides that.

Info: when the seeds popped i planted them in soil and gave the slightest amount of water (purified water from the corner store water dispensar) p.h'd @6.3-6.5.

Installed my humidifier yesterday in the tent and for the first few hours my humidy hit 82
% and i adjusted down.
Overnight humidy in my tent stayed at about 72% (i do have an exhaust fan on the lowest setting amd two fans moving air) temps were @79°F

Plants are under an optic 1 LED 54 true watt with a 120° lens in a 2x4 tent (have a bigger tent once plants out grow this one)

Currently running a 20/4 light schedule but will be easing into an 18/6 soon.

Sorry, heres more pictures.

Can’t really tell if it’s brown or if it’s reddish brown, which could be genetics. If it’s brown, then you might as well get ready to start another one, cause it’ll be dead by tomorrow.

Yeah, these pictures don't do it any justice. I put a flash light and looked closer and it apears to be reddish purpleish but from far seems brown.

That looks like a normal seedling. In the future you should fill the cups up all the way and you don't need to water so much. Damp is better than wet. Use a sprayer to water lightly when the surface starts to dry out.

If you didn’t put holes in those cups, they are too wet, those cups are killer for being too dry and mud at the same time with no holes.
