Unfortunately the most distance I can get between the light and the plants is 40", the hanging wires for my light are 17" and there's another 3-4" added from a rope height adjuster thingy

That lights a problem.
Honestly if it was me. I wouldn't buffer my water. I never do for soil. But I know some do. But if it isn't working.......
Just plain water man. No acidic crap.
Stop mothering / mollycoddling them so much. That's your main problem.
They're a seedling.
What you're doing, is like giving a new born baby steak dinner, coffee, vitamin supplements, beer, vodka and a whole day in the sun without sun screen.
Seriously OP. You're loving them too much. It's the hardest thing for newer growers to realize.
Less is more in the plant world. It's balance they need. Everything needs to be zen.

I know I know, I'm still trying to learn to be patient and not mess with them as much lol. But what do you mean by "buffer my water"? I haven't heard that term yet, and what would you recommend as far as the lighting situation? I raised it as much as I could which is 40" so I'm hoping that's enough.
When you change the ph of your water. Buffering the water is what you're doing. You're using something foreign to alter it's makeup.
I suggest getting a smaller light.
If it's warm enough. Even put them out in the sun for a few days.
Plain water.
Stop loving them to death.

Shit don't put them in full sunlight!!! You think that led is frying wait and watch what the sun would do in a few hours lol
In a nice shady spot op.
I shouldn't have to state these things too.

You're right on but dude had 300w of led 24" above his seedlings
At a guess.
It's because it's a 300watt light rated at 1000watt equivalents. It's probably a crap one too. To make that claim, would mean the frequency is up the shit.
It's an intense, bright light. With a crap frequency for seedlings.
In my opinion

There was no bark, and I feel like many people here would disagree with giving it nutes at all at this stage.

Wait I just realized. By bark did you mean attitude, or did you mean the literal bark in the soil lmao, if you meant the soil then it says it's "processed pine bark", not really sure why it's in it buttt it is. It's the only soil besides Coco Coir (ik it's not soil but still) that I have, I assumed it would be okay because it's has extremelyy low nutes. I didn't use the Coco because I don't have proper nutrients to use to continuously feed them with.
If it's processed pine bark, in the gardening term, then it's fine. It means it's fully composted, and fairly neutral.
It's just fresh mulch, and peat / moss you need to be aware of really. Not many other things really.

many people here have no idea how to grow if that was the case my 3 weeks old seedlings in coco that are on 1 ml per ltr on 2 times a day feed would be stone cold dead
