Looks like Your getting nute burn, lay off the watering everyday. too much nitro. give a good watering and let pots completely dry out before the next watering, roots don't like to stay wet all the time, can cause root rot and lots of other problem. and remember that when they are that young use 1/2 strength food for the first couple of weeks. but other than that they look pretty good....

And you might wanna plant more than 2 seed because the odds of getting males are always there and if you get males then all your hard work is down the drain, unless they are fem beans....

it looks typical for 2 weeks. im not sure who you could have nute burn, have you been feeding them, or does your soil have fertilizers in it, or are you using the Miracle grow

no miracle grow is not the best thing you can get. hold off on any nutrients untill your plant starts showing signs of deficiency, because if you dont know whats in the soil already, you wont know how much of what to feed yore plants

take it easy on the waterings too, do you know about the finger test? where you feel the soil an inch or two down to feel the moisture, and only water when the soil is mostly dry. theres also the weight test, where you feel the weight of the pot when its dry and can tell that it needs to be watered

miracle grow sucks, get something from your local hydroponics store that actually has quality ingredients.

All good advice here. Lay off the waterings...that plant in that pot should be about 2-3 days between waterings.

Get something like pro-mix that has no food at all in it and then feed them yourself, then you'll know exactly what your babies are getting to eat. With the compost mix your using you don't know the exact levels of food your getting, feeding them yourself ensures that you know exactly what your babies are eating.
