Okay, I went ahead and raised it to about 30", if I should go higher I will. I also have a new pic coming and yeah they definitely look more burnt now.

I get that it is actually 120 watts but if you only have the veg switch on than it is likely only at half power. With veg and bloom on it would be drawing 120 watts. You could also lose the dome, seedlings are not big on domes and it can actually harm them.Oh no this is true 120W, it's rated as 600W lol. I did my homework
Good and like Doug said you can get rid of the dome now.
Huh, interesting. Now I'm not sure what to think! Lol. I just sent an updated pic, it might be more telling. It certainly looks like burning now, and one of the cotyledons is even split. The diodes for this particular LED are true 2W each (60 diodes).
Right, sorry I missed that! In that case I guess it's only drawing 60W currently. Should I switch bloom on as well? I will lose the dome and see how it goes.
Done and done. Will update soon!

I would have both switches on as I did when I used those type of lights. You can always move the light further away and if they start stretching move it down. No real harm in a bit of stretching compared to burning. You can just burry the stem a bit when you transfer to pot if you get any stretching. Good luck bud. Hope it comes around for you.
Thank you Doug, yours and everyone's help is much appreciated! I will proceed with your recommendations and update as changes happen.

Your job right now is just keeping your plant alive which you're doing. I wouldn't worry about discoloration etc unless it was happening in early veg or later, never judge a plant in the propagation phase of its life (seedling, clone etc). I've taken seedlings people were going to throw away and I grew them and yes they were runts but they grew some of the dankest bud and I kept them around and ended up having my same buddy ask "Bro where did you get this weed?".
That definitely is not mold, the plant just looks like a seedling that got a bit of light burn possibly or was sprayed during lights on.

Thank you for the positive response! I am going to treat her as if she was a perfectly healthy plant. And yes, I have been spraying during lights on. I will take this advice and try using a syringe to drop the water on the pellet to avoid spraying the seedling. Thank you for that!

Alot of folks will tell you not to transplant autos.Oh no this is true 120W, it's rated as 600W lol. I did my homework
Il tell you it can be done if transplanted right. Meaning before rootbound, gently, and in the dark.
My best autos were transplanted. Just sayin
This was going to be the exact method I would be doing it. In the dark, with a green head lamp and some very special care while not making the whole process take too long.

Exactly. If transplanted right it won't know anything happened at all.
