If you look back on your images, you will see she starts to look a bit unhappy once she’s been moved to her final pot. Either pop the beans in their final pot from now on, or pop them in solo cups and transplant when they’re healthy enough. It takes a bit of getting use to. Try giving her a dose of some mycorrhizae and give her a few days
you are absolutely right - I did notice a major difference in the seedling the day it was transplanted to the coco/perlite medium. I see so many people transplanting their rooters to the final medium, so was hoping this would be seamless, but I guess nothing is easy
I will rethink my approach for the next grow and will look into mycorrhizae too - thanks!Day 11:
I see an extremely tiny set of 3rd true leaves trying to take off (so so tiny right now), but yes, she is barely growing

Still struggling I just watered her with cal-mag and nutes.. not sure what else to do

hi bro i know your trying to get medicine for your dad so its important you get this right and going from your pics she doesn't look happy but lots of the early growth goes on below ground anyhow just a few questions regarding your coco is it pre buffered or a branded name as I use canna coco and that's good to go out of the bag also are you just growing this 1 plant
Thank you so much for understanding my situation - really appreciate it. I buffered the coco myself with 150% dose of cal-mag (2 soaks of 8+ hours each and take out as much water as I could. The mistake I made was I didn't use water with the correct PH (tap water is around 8 with 40PPM). To rectify the issue, on day 7 or 8, I flushed the pot with PH 5.x water. Coco PH is now at 6.3 (using my Hannah soil PH meter). I have also just watered it with cal-mag and nutes, so hoping she will pick up pace, but have no idea.
I just germinated another seed and it's in a rapid rooter right now waiting for it to break surface (likely tomorrow). I have already flushed the pot that this lady is going to go into and PH of coco is at 6.1. I plan on doing a pre-wash with 100PPM nutes and cal-mag before transplanting the rapid rooter.
Is there anything else I should be doing?

Sometimes coco can be funny if it isn’t prewashed even if it’s just ready out the bag.
I’m somewhat having problems with my seedlings too. They look okay, but not like their usual. Seem to be growing a little slow. Sadly, I realised my trusty ph meter was acting up yesterday and managed to purchase two “used like new” ones for like $10 each when they usually go for around 60$. So I’m hoping at least one of them is working okay. I’m kinda in doubt about my ph right now and it may be the issue with mine. I should have started them in solo cups like I usually do.
Those are my girls at 6 days old. Purple nuggets still hasn’t got far with her second set of leaves. Hoping a new feed with a newer ph meter will help them out.
If I were you, I’d germinate into a solo cup mate and just feed from day one very light nutrients until run off when it gets light. I have best success raising seedlings that way

Your babies look quite good to me in terms of color and growth, but your experience with starting with a solo cup and then moving them to their final destination makes a lot of sense. I will be doing that for my next batch for sure - too late to do it this time around.
Maybe put a cup that's clear or something over your seedling maybe you need more humidity you might not have the correct vpd just a thought could be wrong. Others input appreciated
