Nah they look like that at first, some more than others. It should green up on the upper part of the stems where the new growth comes in. That part of the stem turns woody/thick.
image search of "cannabis seedling" for some good examples.

I have a question for you more experienced growers, hope the OP doesn't mind me posting it here, just dont want to start a new thread...
Is it ok to start your seedlings under 24 hour light? I dont like putting my seedlings under my MH so Ive been putting them under a CFL but I dont have an extra timer so I just leave it on all the time. Will this hinder their growth at all? Will any problems arise when I switch to my 18/6 MH?

24 hrs of light is ok. I run my veg rooms 24/7. Switching to 18/6 won't hinder them either. If you keep the seedlings far enough away from your mh lamp you can put them under it now. (if you want to and have the space)
I germed my last batch of seeds under a 600w mh.

Thanks FJ. I dont really have room in my grow tent that contains the 400w MH for them, and everything in that tent is infested with fungus gnats anyway. So far Ive tried diatomaceous earth, SNS 209, and nematodes. Ive slowed them down a little but can't shake them and dont want to expose my seedlings to them. I didnt want to go this route but I guess my next step is AzaMax.

jup jup, those mosquito dunks worked for me, maybe a little over a quarter of a circle in a gallon of water and shaken n soaked for a few days. drench the soil and you can also crumble it up in a fine layer over the top of your soil. that and apple cider vinegar + some microbe rich bubbled run off, with a drop of dish soap to break water tension(in an open jar), really put a dent in this recent infestation i'm having.

AzaMax is organic, many people swear by it and its sold by GH. Its just real expensive and from what Ive read can slow your growth down while you're using it.
I watered two of my bigger healthier plants with the weakest mixture on the chart last night to test it out, hopefully one dose will do the trick.

You'll keep getting fungus gnats until you eliminate the source--usually they are in the bags of soil at the hydro store, always giving you a fungus gnat problem.

Anyway to treat the soil without killing all of the beneficial bacteria?

I stopped using soil partly for that reason, bugs galore. I'm in coco coir now and its great. I cut the fungus gnats down with a layer of sand on top of the soil, ~3/4" layer prevents access to the soil. Maybe add diatomacous earth to the sand? DE straight on top forms a layer that the water can't penetrate that well, gotta mix it in with the soil on the top layer or it just cakes up like a clay.

Mosquito dunks are a biological control, which is usually best. That was going to be my main method of attack but I switched to coco before I could try them, but I've heard they work well. The sand on top really did cut numbers pretty big though.

Two of my seedlings have broken through the bottom of the jiffy cube with roots, is it time to transfer to a 1 gallon of coco coir mixed with perlite, now?
Also, I have tried to test the water by weight, but even when they get wet, they are pretty similar to the dry weight, so it's hard to tell.
Last of all, the ends of the cotyledon are turning yellow, is this normal?
Thanks again.

I'm thinking about going that route soon. I have a shit load of coir bricks from my mushroom hobby, is there anything special I need to do with them before using them for MJ? These are what I have. I thought I read something a long time ago about having to treat or sterilize coir if its not purchased from a hydro shop?

Im still a noob but have successfully grown and harvested several plants the last few months and those seedlings look healthy as can be to me!

@OnlinebEelzeBosS Excellent.
Now, I have a bunch of coco coir that has been sitting around for three months, which I used to start some basic seedlings in, but nothing that grew past a week. Can I use this still?

I'd wait for someone more experienced to confirm but I don't see why not. I'd rinse it really well to remove any salt buildup first.
