 SOS : First grow newbie problems

Hello fam.
First-time grower here. After months of reading and watching videos I decided to do my first grow within legal conditions of the state of California.
I am completely inexperienced but I know my plants do not look so happy compared to all the pictures and videos I have seen. After reading a little bit here in growery I realized two things: 1- I am overwatering which is the newbies most common error. 2- My 600W LED lights should be higher than just a foot height.
Today is day 2 of not watering at all (soil still moist) and pulling the grow light higher. But my plants still do not look happy and they have curling and wavy leaves.
Before I leave you with pictures: My grow temp is 71-74 degrees and humidity is around 40%
These plants have sprouted on Valentine's day and these pictures are recent.. so they are 13 days old. Soil is a mixture of Fox Farm, roots organic, ancient forest, Black gold. I have watered them with 4 mL of General hydroponics FloraGrow mixed in a gallon of distilled water. The light was running 24 hrs a day and I recently changed it to 20 on and 4 off. Hope im not leaving vital info out.
Here is a picture of one plant before raising lights and stop watering so often:

Here are some pictures after the adjustments but leaves still curvey and thin to the touch:

Please help! looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Thanks in advance.

Imo looks like your using to much nutes. They're pretty young so they would be fine in just fox farm until you transplant them. So stop feeding them and also flush with pH water. They should bounce back within a week or so.

When you say pH water, I’m assuming that’s 7.0 ?

yes neutral pH water. And i would advise watering them with just neutral pH water until you put them on their feeding schedule.

The soil you used will have enough nutrients for at least the first few weeks.
