They're called cotyledons and yes, they will dry up, it's normal.

They are the "jaws of life" for a seedling.
They plump up with water and help to discard the seed casing.

When their job is done, they are absorbed for their resources.
Just like the fan leaves will be at harvest time.
Plants are amazingly resourceful and conservative critters.

It could well be lime residue from hard water.
If so, let it be.
It won't hurt anything and the new leaves will be fine.

A close-up picture would be a good thing though.
'Cause, if it's Powdery Mildew, it WILL spread.
<Edit> Just took a close look. It's lime scale.

Be very gentle with the first few feedings.
Babies are quite easy to choke at this point.

As long as the new growth looks healthy then there shouldn't be anything to worry about, looking good from what I can see :thumbsup:

Also make sure those CFL's are 1-3 inches from the plants maximum. They look a little stretched, you could fill in a couple inches of your container with soil.
