seeds What happened to a couple of my tabasco seedlings?

A few of the cotyledons on some of my tabasco seedlings have this issue. I would say only about 3/25 don't look healthy due to whatever this is. Any idea what it could be? Over watering? Too close to the light? I had them in potting soil in solo cups about 4" from a 13W T5 @ 4000K. http://imgur.com/zivyEmT
 
If your going to have the little pepper plant in a solo cup you need to cover it with clear plastic wrap and rubber band. 4 inches too close.
You can get larger bulbs with stands or a t5 set up. It does look like it a little burnt.
 
Sorry, I edited to show I meant T5. I didn't have enough space under my 125W CFL setup and realized my kitchen counter lights were T5 so I put the rest of my seedlings on top of a pile of books really close to the light. What would the rubber band and wrap have done? Helped block out heat?
