Color on Leave are changing?

Good day everyone,

Sorry to bother you guys but Im getting a bit worried here. Ive been growing Tomatoes (San Marzano) from seed and everything was going great. Then I noticed my plants started to turn purple at around week 2. Ive heard that's normal if they are getting to much light but should not be a problem. So I just cut back on the amount of time I had my lightbox on (14hrs a day)

Now Im noticing a second set of leaves are coming out but my 1st set of leaves is dying off.... Is this normal? The second set of leave look good but I still worry.

Second, My Squash is also on its second set of leaves but I seem to be getting discoloration on the edges of my 1st & 2nd set of leaves. Is that normal?

Could I be giving them too much light? I did have them at about 1" away from my natural light but now have moved them down to about 3" from it.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I will be taking pictures of them during my lunch hour and posting them up for you to see.

Thanks!

Here are some shots of the Squash and Cucumbers. I'll have to retake pictures of the Tomatoe as they are all out of focus.

Here is a shot of the Squash Plant and some info for all of them:

They were planted about 3 weeks ago, have been on a light box for about 16hrs a day and now I have brought that amount down to 14 since I started noticing the change in the leaves.
