Possible LED lamp burn, or N Def?

First off thanks for spending a few seconds trying to diagnose my current issue.

Clones were purchased last week in 4" Grodan blocks from a rep. dispensary. For the first 3 days my 240W LED light (3W bulbs) was at about a 14" height and I am inclined that might have caused the yellow discoloration at the top of each clones. I know LED burn is very hard to get so I guess that's why I am confused on the diagnosis. The Sour D clones seem to have been effected much worse than the B Cheese, and Chem #4 clones which I do find a little odd but none the less they are all showing signs of my issue. Yesterday I planted them into their HF/FFOF 3gal pots as they had roots exposed through the Grodan blocks so I figured it would be a good time to get them into the soil. I have pulled the LED to a distance of 32" above the tips to avoid anymore possible light issues hoping this would help correct my issue. Indoor grow: 2 x 4' chamber w/ 24/0 75-77° temp, humidity is 52-60%, w/ 300CFM exhaust exchange.

Couldn't find much on LED burn at early stages of plant growth online so I am assuming that is the issue, as I have not watered with any nute's thus far. Only other thing I thought could be possible N def, but I having this issue on all 6 plants makes me think it it's an environment issue. Any help or advice will be considered. Thanks.

Thanks for the input. I have seen recommendations like this; http://www.dormgrow.com/proper-distance but that is about the only guide I have seen for distance from plant tip to LED light. I'm not too concerned but just wanted to make sure that it wasn't something I have done on my end. I'll know more in a week when they are rooted in the soil, and start feeding on the HF/FFOF mix.

It is definitely not a LED lamp burn - the plant will have to be very close for that to happen.
 
Well we are now 14 days from that posting and these Sour D plants are still showing yellowing. Pics are attached, thanks.
