I would raise it up. I wouldn't go more than 18-24" on a plant well into veg. If it wasn't blurple I had a way you could measure the intensity for free but it's not reliable with those

Alright so update on the plants after moving light up to 36" it got hella worse
I thought maybe transplanting it would help it and I could see if I was overwatering it and sure as shit.. the roots were like a grey color an not looking good at all. I'm gonna let them dry up majorly before I water again does anyone have any suggestions? Please help lol

Weigh the pot with moist almost dry mix. Water to runoff and weigh again. Now you know when to water.

I didnt see any bugs in it. I think them being in starter pots and being in soil I was watering like every other day like I was doing with my ones in coco coir and it was killing em maybe? I mean I wasnt like drowning them in water jus spraying the top for like 5 seconds to keep it moist. I jus transplanted them yesterday to 5 gal fabric pots and I'm gonna let em dry for a few days and jus spray further away from the plant so the roots can search some
