If you notice some of the leaves are crinkly and a few leaves are dropping at the end.

That soil looks really chunky. Did you pre-soak before you put the seedlings in?

Definitely something up. Light intensity and temps would be first up, watering second. I was thinking these were a bit smaller than usual for three weeks on my end. Usually have 7-9 nodes out by four weeks.

those plants look really beautiful, my first instinct would be to put them in bigger pots. I wonder what median you are growing in and what nutrients if any.

Ok you have Happy Frog in the pot. Anything else?
Have you put any nutrition in the pot and what if any.
Tell us about the watering practices. How much and how often and the water source.
How much light. Can you read in ppdf or lux? Of not light specs and power setting with distance away from plant.
We have to eliminate 1 by 1 what is causing this.

If all the others are doing fine...it may just be a bad bean. I had a few myself...just pop a new bean is my take on it.

5 weeks should be much bigger. Even the good looking ones
In any event the soil is gunna run out.
Some of these strains can really run dry and the only thing you see is slow growth.

If these are 5wks old there's some issues below ground. Does the soil take a long time to dry back? Dont think she rooted well and is just clogged up down there.

What soil is that your using

I’ve had one medium were the seeds just weren’t growing in it

Either that or your overwatering loads & as said there a issue underground

I would pull them out gently look at the roots
If the roots aren’t smelling & your not overwatered then imo I would transplant into a known medium

@SamSun777 they were in 7" pots so not too small for three weeks old. They have been potted up into 5 gal since though and topped. In some old recycled peat/Coco and compost mix with scoria and perlite. A bit of worm castings, insect frass, Neem/alfalfa and kelp meal added but apart from that it's just tap water and some microbes at potting up.

Nah they'll be right. No point chasing minor deficiency. They are moving better then most here at three weeks so I don't see the point in messing with em tbh. They'll pick up

I get this same mg like issue every time I start in thrice recycled medium. They snap out if it once they get their legs around week 3-4.

Your plants look good just very slight zebra stripes on the leaves i thought your light might be a bit too bright like I did on my last grow.

Try letting it dry out, don't water it and definitely don't feed it. If you can bring the humidity up to around 60% and let the pot dry out until it's almost light as styrofoam (but not quite) ... it will allow the roots to grow and get a solid footing before exploding in vegetative growth. That's my 2c hope it helps.

The crinkly leaves should straighten out as they grow usually. Sometimes they do weird things but grow out of it.
