BTW
the little round leaf is called embryonic leafs.
and the normal leafs are called the True leafs
the plant has three stages as we all know. The seedling stage ends when you have 4 nodes of true leafs and the 5th set is very small but visible in the center.
I am not familiar with the soil you use. maybe read about it. Make sure it dosn't have manure or ferts in it. you wana use something like a mix of peat, perlite and sand. Lots of perlite like 50%. you can go up to 100% perlite if you wish. i haven't
I say check the heat.
can CFLS cause heat stress?
if it gets too hot... probably not from radiant heat (being too close) but they can still heat up the room. The give off less heat, not no heat. you plants would burn if they touched em. Do you know the temp.
just ganked a themperater gage and put it in it. imma wait a half hour and check...
82 degrees a foot away from the lights and the plants are 2-3 inches away
.
OK, and whats the temp 2-3 inches away?

I agree to let them dry out. Make sure your soil drains well. You don't want them to always be wet. Soil without fertilizer and not feeding for a few weeks is a good start. Some people don't like peat, but I grab some peat and perlite and it works good. Peat holds moisture which is good for seedlings in a warm environment.
