Over the last few days I've noticed that the stalks on some of the plants are gone white. Can anyone tell me if this is normal?

I've attached 3 more pictures. Hopefully this will help in determining what's going on with my plants. The only think I can think of is the Golden Mystery Snails are killing them?

Looks like they are not getting much light in those areas so so Photosynthesis may Have stopped in those areas. So no Chlorophyll means no green color.
 
Acording what type of bulb they are they could be losing the spectrum
