Seedlings are 1 week 2 days old. in roots organic and perlite. Just switched to a 600 watt MH yesterday from A 600 watt HPS for past week.20/4, temp is currently 76 and humidity is 53%. currently tying to raise humidity. Lamp is 24" from plants. Air circulation is good with intake and exhaust. Only water given when needed about every other day. Going to check soil ph asap. Any and all thoughts greatly appreciated

There not really to bad but leaves that curl up usually mean temps are to high or lights are to close.Try moving your light up a some and see if this helps.
 
Moved lamp slightly higher and then last night realized that my timer was stuck and for the past 2 days my babies received 24 hours of light... ugh !! I will assume that the constant light , along with closeness and constant high temp caused by this all contributed to this problem. Last night was the first night in 48 hours that they got to "sleep". I have no idea what type of effect this may have on them in the end. I have 3 autos and 1 photo in grow together currently and 1 auto and the photo both had the similar upward curl .
 
Sounds like you probably caught it in time, the lack of "sleep" will not be an issue but sounds like your temps are getting too high with the lights on. If you have a thermometer check the temps at the very top of the plants after the lights have been on for a while. It should not be much over 80 degrees F
