It's normal. The first set of leaves (cotyledons) have a little membrane on them that is usually brown or yellow. It's green underneath. They will shed this membrane probably by the time you read this LOL.

How do I stop those stems from getting longer without hurting my plant?? Anyone know how close CFL's can be to a seedling? I have (2) 100 watt equiv. (blue spec) and (1) 150 watt equiv (red spec) in a three way above the plants the lights now are about 16"-18" away can I go closer without damage?

Good lord man. That explains the stretching. 16-18 inches is for HPS and MH. WAY too far for CFLs. Park those puppies 3 inches or less from your plants. CFLs can be touched with bare hands when they are on. They won't burn your plants unless in direct contact with the leaves.
