ok...150 w hps is a bit hot for the little one, good you moved it away, most likely was causing the curling up of your leaves, heat stress! humidity can be higher too( 60% veg) which probably added to the heat stress.

is it this...

CANNA Terra Seedmix is perfectly suited for germinating the seeds of your favourite plant. It has a homogeneous, stable structure consisting a.o. of very clean coco coir that ensures a higher retainability of water, which gives the seeds the best chance of germinating correctly. CANNA Terra Seedmix is also particularly suitable for use when rooting cuttings.

you can use vinegar to lower ph

yes you could but i think a feed/ feed/ water would be better until they green up a bit ;)

make sure you let soil dry out before next feed/watering.
