I have a few plants and from the beginning of their grow till now about 4 weeks old and 10 inches tall they all have 3 leaves Ive seen other peoples plants from the beginning and they all have 5 or more leaves is something wrong with my plants. I started with seeds from bag seed. Any input would be greatly appreciated

You might want to show us some pics it could be a streching problem. What kind of light are you using and how close is it?
OK so here are afew pics form the camera phone. I have a fish tank light with a 20wt florencent grow bulb in it and a standard desk lamp with a 50wt grow bulb. Some of the lower leaves are tunring yellow on the tips but mostly they look real healthy

Those little bastards are streching for light. You might want to add a few more bulbs. And if you flower youre deffinatly going to need more light.

Not to burst ou bubble, but you need ALOT more lights, and second...NEVER grow more then 1 plant per pot. Replant all of them into seperate pots and get at least a 600W MH/HPS setup.

They Are Stressed Out! Thats Why You Have The 3 Leaves. If I Were You I'd Bring The Lights A Lot Closere, 2-3 Inches Above The Tops, Flush Them Out To Get Rid Of The Nutrient Lock They Might Have, And Let Them Get Bigger Before You Start Flowering Them. Just A Thought!
get some deep pots, when you transplant burry them bitches so you got like 4-6 inches of plant showing. then you can kinda start over and they will get bushier. ive done that in a few outdoor grows when i didnt have the plants in a spot where they got great light, so they would stretch and then ide burry them a little more and eventually they'll do good. becuase those stalks you got are so skinny its a good choice man. try it

you also need a few fans to make the stems stronger and you could think about tying them down some

You need more lights. And please do what i said earlier...get rid of the 2 plants per pot....ONLY 1 PER POT...that is BAD juju.
To stop them from growing tall...top them, you'll get 2 or more main cola's. Take a look at my gallery to see what a topped plant looks like.

This is the same as topping but it can produce more new growths.
Ok so i have taken some advice and hoepfully i have moved in the right direction. I went out and bought a 4ft florescent light fixture. 2 Bulbs 1 aqua grow light and the other is a cool white light. I replanted all of them into their own pots , planted them a bit deeper so they are not as tall. Currently the light is about 2-3 inches form the tops. Does this look good? Anymore input would be great.
