Seedling Leaves Drooping (8 days old)

Hi, Need some advice for my first grow. Noticed today that the seedling's leaves are starting to droop, they were close to 180 degrees horizontal the day before and I have no idea what is going on. Flushed the pot with water to check drainage, and waters passing through well
Solved
Leaves. Curl down

I’m not sure how old your seedling is but it looks like it’s stretching out and too leggy. Maybe you should try lowering your light and water when the soil is dry.

@Aquemini ahh thanks for that, great pick up. I've switched the heat mat off. Another question, I changed my LED lights that I'm using from el-cheapo amazon one (3 bendy LED strips on a clamp) to a VIPARSPECTRA VA600 on the lowest dim setting. I increased the distance from the light to ~30cm as well, but i guess to your suggestion that this new + more powerful light could be causing it...ill try increasing the distance further tonight. Thanks guys!

Could be overwatered. But that bend looks like its trying to get away from the light intensity. Also don't use that heating pad if you are. Once they pop and open there leaves you don't want to apply any heat to the roots. Hot roots will heat stress a plant real fast.

Yeah, going to not water at all for next 24-48hrs and see how it goes. I thought it might be humidity, room reading was at 42%...so I put a dome over it as well to sit under the lights (bad idea?)
