Sprouted seed few days old has burnt tip need help with reviving it

Hi I have a baby raspberry cough that sprouted is about an inch tall, has not yet started to produce flowers, I'm currently using coco coir soil and a LED veg light. I have used nothing but distilled water, the seed itself is in a larger blue solo cup and I have a small clear solo cup at an angle over it with a few holes in it for air, and to keep the humidity. I noticed yesterday the tip was starting to get burnt, so I put it in the dark for a few hours. because its been on a 24 hour light schedule since it sproute only made it worse. I have not yet used any kind of root extender on it like I did with my other plants. was not sure it needed any nutrients at such a young age. what are my best options to keep the plant alive? should I cut the dead tip? or use the rooting extender? which is a 7-1-1 nutes. I need to figure out something or get some kind of advice very soon before I loose the plant itself for it is a feminized seed, and a strain I have wanted to have for a while. (supposably very good for pain) since I shattered my femur and wrist in the last year, and had multiple plates and bolts added to my body.

I would drop distilled h20 and go to regular bottled drinking h20, ph around 7.0 stop giving it artificial light and just set it near a window. But 1st I would do an extremely gentle transplant into a good potting soil that doesn't have polymer coated nutes in it, something inexpensive like miracle natures care. I'm suspecting the little roots maybe got too dry in the coco and have shunted growth or an acidic condition. I wouldn't give it a hint of nutes. Sometimes distilled h20 gets into the 5 ranges ph wise and that's an easy lockout problem even for a baby without nutes. Id ph that water you been using and see whats up there. If you give it anything give it a tiny dose of silica and b vitamins and perhaps a bit of kelp and don't overwater it. Once it gains its health then get it into a bigger pot with good soil. Then start the macro nutrients. Good luck because sometimes a bad spot only gets worse but its worth trying to save.
