Heat Stressed Seedling

No real questions just thought I would post a mistake I made today. Sprouted a single seed that will be used for clones. Seedling is about a week old, real small. Kept seeing ever so slight browning of the leaf edges. Slight leaf edges curling up, Checked the PH with the BlueLab and 2 separate PH probes, readings were about the same. Flushed the soil with 6.6 PH'ed water just to be sure. Didn't expect it would be nutrient deficient after just a week. Couldn't figure the problem. Then I focused on the temperature of the grow tent, my own ignorance was the issue. I had my TEMP/HYGROMETER readings set for measuring off the unit and not the probe. The probe was inside the tent and the unit was not. I clicked to the probe setting and it said 87 degrees F. I was burning my seedling up. Adjusted so the temp inside the tent is now 74 and humidity 50%. Lets hope the problem is fixed. If not back to the drawing board. Thanks for reading and I guess it just goes to show a small oversight can make the biggest problem.

Thank you. I think I was doing the same thing. Just needed a second opinion. temp/humidity gauge in the mail.. look kind of like this? Rounded leaf edge in foreground, twisted leaf in back right.
