About 15 inches but I raised them a little to maybe 18 in now.how low is your lights ?
How do you think I can get them to recover or at least stop burning?Your plants are way too young and small to need any type of fertilizer, plus FoxFarms stuff has a lot of nutes in it originally.

You need to flush themHow do you think I can get them to recover or at least stop burning?
I don’t know what I was thinking, now they are growing but even the new growth is starting to looked burned.Ya no nutes!! it seemed like plant growth was slow becuase ita gotta make those roots. There is a period at first where plant dont grow as fast, but it is just in the dirt.
Flushing seems to make them worse. This video was 12 hours after I flushed them.You need to flush them
Well if it still is showing it's not liking it raise to 24"About 15 inches but I raised them a little to maybe 18 in now.
I can’t tell if it’s the lights or the burn that’s cause if the problem. The leaves looked to be curling in a little that’s the only reason I raised them but I think they’re just shriveling due to the burn. They pretty much are a little stretched.Well if it still is showing it's not liking it raise to 24"
This ^^^Raising light and raising humidity will help them recover it's a less stressful environment. Low rh will accelerate nute uptake.
Agree no need to feed for some time in that soil. It will also cook the plants.The Fox Farm stuff is full of nutrients, which can be hard on seedlings, who, like newborn babies, enjoy a light meal instead of a pizza and ribs! When you added the Grow Big, you just made it hotter and less favorable to the roots. Flushing is usuallly the recommended solution, but most pre-fertilized soils and mediums are time release formulas that release nutes via osmotic exchange... water allows them to release their contents. If a lot of water is present, it could make the problem worse.
At the stage that they are in, which is still pretty small, I would consider a transplant if it were my decision. I would recommend using a 50-50 mix of your Fox Farm stuff, but mixed with a neutral medium that has goos drainage. I grow in Promix so I would probably mix it with the FFarm stuff, but coco or similar items might cool it down enough to let things get going a bit better. There will still be plenty of nutrition in a 50-50 FFarms mix for your plants to not need feeding for months.
Regarding the light, Curled up leaves often point to heat and light stress, as @Aqua Man mentioned.
Thanks. I raised the light a little more. How close do you think it should be. The tallest seedling is maybe 2-3 inches. So from that maybe 24-30 inches? And what’s a good humidity level? I keep reading 40-60 is good, 50-80, 40-70.Raising light and raising humidity will help them recover it's a less stressful environment. Low rh will accelerate nute uptake.
Crap, a SF1000. I don’t know the exact wattage it’s set at, waiting on my wattage meter but it’s supposed to 100W. Usually people day they come set about 94-97W.This ^^^
they are light burned. See the tips and leaves flooding upwards.
What lights are you using? Watts etc.?
I have on hand Fox Farms Ocean Forest and the Warrior Light. I know the OF is too rich with nutes. I don’t know if a grow store is open now but I might be able to find Happy Frog which is supposed to be the most basic low nute soil. Home Depot or a garden center might have some basic organic regular soil, no idea what would work though. For regular gardening I use Kellogg’s Organic stuff or Miracle Grow.The Fox Farm stuff is full of nutrients, which can be hard on seedlings, who, like newborn babies, enjoy a light meal instead of a pizza and ribs!
