I've pre answered the questions posted on the pre-amble.

My issue appears to be damping off.
I'm running 6 girls (auto fems) Purple Cheese, Green Love Potion, Trans Siberian, and Pineapple Chunk.
Germination and early seeding growth seemed normal compared to my reading and the 3 previous "successful" runs.

With that said, I do believe I over watered this group of girls..

Question:
Is it possible to cull the damped off part of these seedings, and place them in my cloner and have a chance of saving these $$ girls?

Are you covering them with a dome? If so, stop doing that. Everything else looks ok as I peruse it (but I may have missed something that sticks out to someone else).

I think it depends. If the damping off has made it into the vascular tissue, it may not be possible, but you can only try.
Lowering the temps of your water should help prevent this issue in future.

Right now I have the water temp between 60* and 65* F.
All the girls look good. all the roots look very clean and white.
Is there something that resembles damping off, and this is not it?
My stems are thinner at ground level and brownish.. Stem is very "hard" in that area as well... not mushy as I would have expected?
Plants are exploding.... Almost hate to do anything right now?
Is the hammer about to drop... and just don't know it?... I'll send photos this evening or tomorrow.

I guess my issue was not damping off... not sure what it was, but there is no sign of anything?
I did boost the H2O2, and I read on this forum, about something called Hygrozyme....
Roots went from brown and snotty, to clean and white. growth increased and the brown and wilted
stem is no longer visible. Hygrozyme will be part of my regime from now on...
