They seemed to be doing good and now I feel like they stopped growing at about day 8 or 9
Too small for 12 days?

They don't grow much the first 2 weeks. They are mostly focusing on building a good root system.
Be patient, just let them go. The more you look at them, the slower they grow. Trust me, I learned this the hard way years ago.

I've gotten over the looking at em all the time, I just see some other 2 week olds that have tons of fanleaves and are already looking bushy and some of mine don't even have there first set of fingerd leaves

Maybe because it's in such a huge pot it's building a good root system I start mine in small pots and yes for 2 weeks they are small. Sorry rub salts in the wounds but here's mine at 2 weeks

I'm right with ya right now buddy, I'm feeling your frustration. I have 2 the exact same age and size, I'm thinking "what the Fuh"
I suspect because I'm growing in my basement and now that spring is here my furnace doesn't kick in as often for the main living area, leaving my down stairs still cold.. brrrr. I sitting at 64-69 in my tent.
What's the climate like in your grow area ?
(EDIT) I just tried zooming in on your second set of pics you posted, Does that say your temps are going to a low of 63 ? I think we maybe have found a common issue and reason for our stunted plants..

Temps are getting low at night down to 61 and during the day 68-73, my humidity stays around 45-55% and every other day or so I give them alittle less than half a bottle of water

Colder medium temps cause slower growth.

personally, every time ive had plants that small at 2 weeks theyve continued to be slow and ive ended up axing them. Imo they are either weak beans, struggling with the mediums ec or ph, or are naturally very slow growing.
You just have to ask yourself is it worth another 6 to 8 weeks of your time to grow them out and possibly come good or find out that they remain stunted and poor growing . ..when you could pop a few more beans and find something that grows a lot better.
Its ok saying give them time, but seedlings are usually a good bit further on at 2 weeks

they seem really healthy, they are working on the root zone. try not to give them too much water until the root zone builds up

Ill also add, your soil looks bone dry at the top there. I know everyone reads the pitfalls of 'noob mistake #1 overwatering' but they do like a moist soil not too dry either, though they wont die the same as over watering they wont flourish either. Id say water with luke warm water and wait until the surface soil begins to feel dry, then lift the pot and judge the weight. Usually you can then water in a day or 2 once the surface begins to dry out. Bone dry suggests to me youre leaving it too long.

You should start in final container. Roots need to spread. Could be genetics or other environmental problems.
