    Sounds like too much heat rather than too much light...

    Maybe 8 inches away would be good to start. If the seedlings start to stretch then it might be too far away, so move it a little closer,

    If they become too bushy then move it away. You want o keep about 1 inch between each node. then you have the sweet spot regarding light distance.

    Listen to your plants, they are always showing you something

    Take Care

    Everything is just fine. But be sure you let the pots get a little light between waterings.

    You are doing good. Relax

    Oh, be sure you get a small fan blowing on them to train the stems.

    Just let it blow them lightly for about 10 minutes every hour.

    All the best

    I just opened mine in "Indoor Growing" I think.

    Maybe there is a "Grow Log" area, I forget.

    Follow a link in my signature and you should be in the right area.
