Its pretty much common knowledge that the first oval leaves wither up and die once the plants get going. These leaves are called the embryonic leaves (cotyledons). Only needed for the germination stage. Sometimes though they don't die, most of the time they do, its perfectly normal.

ok thanks. does this mean its starting the veg stage and i should start adding veg nutes?

also at the bottom of the stem(where the stem meets the soil) it looks dark brown and it looks sort ove mushy. is this bad? and how can i fix it?

You haven't started vegetative quite yet. And i'm definately not an expert, if you want I can send you a grow guide it goes into alot of detail on just about anything, its basically a book translated word for word onto the pc. If you want it let me know. Your other question, I can say I know enough to help with that, I don't wana give misinformation.

Normal.

That thing about the mushy stem bothers me though. If so, put a fan on it immeadiatly. Could be mold or rot. Try to pull a tiny bit of dirt away from it too.
