The lights are a good distance above the plants
About 20”

Do have a ph / ppm meter ?
You can get a water report from your local sources ....
What makes you believe it is worse than the spring water you chose ?
I use tap with very little tweaking ( 7.3 ph / 255 ppm Cali water ) , a pinch of ph down crystals and all good.
I also have begun to use ZERO WATER Pitcher ( $25 retail ) that 5 stage filters all the shit down to an actual 0 ppm.
Maybe too good as it becomes alkaline ( 8.3 I guess to mimic filtered spring ) but no bueno straight that way.
I compensate for that by half zero water and partial regular tap with ph meter monitoring as I add , I stop when 6.5 .
Take a reading with ppm meter ( 150 ppm final ) and at 6.5.
Pretty easy to source a solution.

20" is still too close for seedlings
Use just one light, and raise it to atleast 30" untill they are 2-3 weeks old

Okay I’m ordering myself a PH tester as well as a Zero water pitcher on Amazon right now

I also didn’t know that there could be “too much light” for seedlings. Why is this and how does it affect growth?

Won’t this cause stretching?

minor stretch can be compensated for when you transplant , you can bury it a little deeper to cover stalk.

Use the stretch to find the perfect amount of light
Bring the light up, if they start stretching, lower the light alittle untill they have a good growth
Like Budz said, stretching can be fixed when you transplant

I read on here a guy said put a wet towel in the grow room/tent I did and my RH went up.
Temporary answer but my little ones are like that.

I know brother I’ve been looking at these charts it’s just hard for me to tell exactly or what looks closest. Any idea?

I think it's a toxicity but I don't know much and I usually say everything wrong mate.

They are so small you shouldn't be feeding them anything but a bit of water at the edges of the pot.

I know it's hard mate but just wait a few more days and just leave them to it.

Yea that’s pretty much all I’ve been doing. I’m using crappy miracle grow soil that probably has added Nutes. Didn’t even think of that
