I have no idea what you are asking here...? Sometimes seedlings look and grow weird though...make sure you aren't over watering or feeding them

Sounds like a light proximity issue or possibly lack of proper lighting. What are you using? cfl? hps? mh? t5?

I think you are referencing cotyledon when you mention ''down leaves''. If you are saying that you have only 1 leaf appearing where the plant's first true set comes in, don't panic; I've seen all sorts of weird seedlings recover - just give it a proper environment for better chance of success.

right now i am useing pure sunlight and it is growing alright i plan to use hps later on because i cant afford hps and mh for the first time

i am not sure but it is the first leaves that come out that are round and look nothing like pot leaves
