Were the roots coming out the coir blocks before you transplanted them into soil.
It looks like a common overwatering prob imo. Its a sure way to kill a lil plant.
raise your light 2 ft , they are still tender lil cuttings..

Your plants are displaying thermotropism which is a plants tendency to move toward favorable temperatures. If its too cold they move toward warmth and vice versa. Looks like classic heat stress. I think the tops were too hot.
