New seedlings are showing wilt or dryness?

I've been growing seedlings in my two hightop green houses at work and I just removed them from the humidity. They are showing signs of wilt or something on a few leaves of the peppers most notably.

It doesnt make sense since they are deffinately not overly dry. The leave damage almost looks like a combination of damage and freezing (!). It's not affecting the entire leaves of the plant, just one or two.

any ideas? I'm thinking that it might be the change in overall humidity instead of watering?

If soil wet could be root rot. shock going from high to low humidity.
high humidity gives higher temp & could be high to lower temp. could be fungal growth
aallso shock going from high to low light OR low to gigh light
