How Am I Doing? First grow + Bagseed

Hey, this is my first grow, and I'm using seeds I got off a friend and a few CFLs. I've had 3 seeds planted for a week now, I'd just like to know if I'm doing alright?
Each plant is under their own 30W bulb 24 hours a day. I've watered them every day with a few drops around the bottom of the stem. I have a small bit of Miracle-Grow plant food in the water, but it's very diluted.

One of the plants seems to be doing better than the others (let's call her Plant B), but today I noticed it's two first, small leaves had turned yellow.
Any ideas of what is causing it?

Ok first of all, the first set of leaves, the ones that are round looking, always die and fall off. It's normal

Second, change the way you're watering your plants. Try saturating the pot with water (watering until it drains out the bottom) then not watering for 4-5 days. The plants will like this method a lot better

Oh and dont be using ferts quite yet. Wait till they have like 3 nodes

Other than that they're looking healthy for their size.

Good luck

Thanks for that, I was automatically worried when I saw yellow.
I'll try that method of watering tomorrow or the next day, thanks for the info.

Do you think the miracle grow will make any difference in size at this age? I didn't think it would cause any problems since it's very diluted.

The plants are looking happier today anyway :)

Yellow seedlings is from to much water... Let the soil get completely dry and wait till yellow growth turns green...

I'm afraid that Plant B got F'd up. I checked on the plants today and discovered Plant B a shriveled mess :(. I had a computer fan in there, blowing inward, I think it must have got too cold and wrecked the plant. So today I shifted the fan, watered them a whole lot, and prayed.

I didn't take a picture of Plant B because I want to pretend that this never happened :(
