They’re looking good, wet but good. 3 weeks from sowing or sprouting 
. They have a lot of root formation to go through at this stage but they do look smallish

watering with a mist sprayer , just sprayed them ,that’s why they look wet ,have them under a rack of white led lights a week after they popped up but that was a week after i’d left them on a window and the stalks sort of got long ,this is only my second attempt ,using a spray as afraid of " “overwatering” maybe too dry ,spraying about 3 times a day till the soil gets wet ,thoughts on size of pots as well

Little ladies in big pots. She’s putting down lots of roots with all that space. They look healthy so don’t sweat it . They will put on a show soon

What medium are you using?
That explains the wet look . Like @Watt-Sun says lot of space for a small plant. Wouldn’t move them either just let them get on with it

A little to much water is the first thing I see. At this stage you won’t need more than 10 ml. Secondly…they look a little stretchy to me. Thirdly…don’t get the leaves wet if you can help it. Grow lights + beads of water on leaves = leaves can get fried due to the magnification of the water + light.

This is a weird one. They look a little stretched but otherwise perfectly healthy. If you said they were a week old id say they were looking just fine. At three weeks though something’s weird. They look wet but I start in big pots and water for the first week the same way you are so I completely get how they can look soaked in a picture but not be water logged at all around the growing roots.
They really don’t look over or under watered but starting in big pots doesn’t explain the lack of growth. Like I said I start the same way and they are much bigger at three weeks, reliably. Are they all the same genetics? What’s the temperature of your grow area?
