First grow looking good, but maybe some issues?

Hey please bare a little bit of typing, but I wanted to give some back story so you guys could think of some insight on my grow. So this is my first grow and I have some questions. I bought a 2x2x5 tent and a spider farmer sf1000 LED light. I plan on growing auto flowers as soon as my seeds arrive, but in the meantime I popped this seed I found in a nug of some fire Dolato just to play with my tents environment and get ready for the real deal. I first germinated the seed in some paper towels until I had about an inch of root poking out, then I planted in a small Dixie cup of some heavy bagged organic top soil of peatmoss and compost. I placed it in my windowsill because my light hadn’t arrived yet. During this time, the seed sprouted but it started stretching a lot. So after it was about 6 inches i cut the top of a liter size Gatorade bottle and filled it with more top soil and i transplanted the sprout so the stretched stem was buried. The light then arrived so I placed it in my tent but after some days, I noticed the soil was jsut way too heavy and the plant wasn’t growing at the rate I know it probably should be if it was comfortable. So I transplanted again, but this time into some foxfarm OG. I’ve been watering with 6-6.5 ph’d distilled bottle water. BUT when I stick my ph reader soil probe into the soil, it looks like the ph is reading above alkaline like 7-8. The plant started growing much better than it was and finally seems to be in a comfortable veg stage. But, I’ve noticed some unfavorable traits. On the first set of 3 leaf leaves, the longest tip seemed a bit burnt. Then another set of 3 leaf leaves grew which seem healthy green. Now the first set of true 5 leaf leaves are coming in, but I noticed they seem a little splochy. Like some lighter colored areas. Also one of the leaves appears to only have 4 leafs rather than 5 like the other. Could you guys give me any tips, pointers, feedback, criticism? All much appreciated. When my seeds arrive I plan on popping either one auto in a 5 gallon pot at a time or 2 autos in 3 gallon pots. I’ll be puting this Dolato outside in my greenhouse.

Lower light to 24", a tad high. Decent light.

If it were me, I'd:

Either remove her from the clear plastic pot (bottle) or wrap it with a material that will block out the light. Your roots don't like the light.
You mentioned distilled water...are you sure of the pH? Sometimes distilled water will come in with some pretty whacky pH readings.
The blotchy colored leaves may be an indication of a pH issue, although the plant doesn't look too bad. It's still young so be patient. Good luck.

Yes lower the lights and dim down a tad looking good just be patient........it’s supposed to be fun

Dont use clear containers... roots need dark... wrap that in duct tape.

Temps should be heigh with led. Get your temp up to 28c and you'll see a spike in growth.
