Water them if the soil is dry. Also mite be your ph ... if your using tap water mite have chlorine in it so, if you are using tap put the water in a milk jug and let it sit in the sun for a day should burn off the chlorine and b good to water with.but check your ph and try the milk jug thing if you are using tap water should help you out!!!

im using distilled and leaving the cap off it i know on reddit they said it was overwatering and on here they say its heat problems
 
I dont know if its overwatered because well im not the one watering it. But it sure looks like its getting too much water, the soil looks moist! A cup like that in 50% humidity and 70f-80# should take a couple days to dry out under cfl's. Can you post pics of your drainage holes? Sometimes depending on soil and drainage, the first 1" of dryness can mean nothing. Since its just a seedling, let it dry out and weigh it. It will give a general idea of dry weight since it really wont pack on much weight for a week or two. The trick here is to get roots without under watering. It is extremely sensitive to heat,water and nutes at this point. In those solp cups, you can get by with 20watts of cfl for a week just to help your high temps. 40watts next week and so on, hopefully by the time you get back up to 80watts you have your ventilation figured out. By that time it will be alot harder to kill the plant because the window of stress is alot bigger vs a seedling.
