hey i have a few seedlings only a few days old, maybe 2cm tall. the leaves were fine but now they are starting to grow upwards, like to the sky not out nice like they were. the colour of the leaves is still a nice green. i have 2x 150w mh lights about 40-45cm above the seedlings as i have other seedlings aswell but they havent started to sprout yet. what could this be from? and is it something i should be concerned about? please help i dont want my lil babies to die

Hard to say without pics, some just reach for the light like that with no negative effects. If the leaf tips are "curling" up at the tips then its probably heat stress. Hope this helps.
 
Your leaves are just going towards the light. Mine do the same thing when they get too close the the light so try moving your light up just a bit and see if that helps
