I'm really trying to get a jump on the gardening season by sprouting some veggies indoors, but I'm hitting a snag. I've got them on a 12/12 light schedule and recently moved some of the sprouts, including broccoli and tomatoes, into small pots with soil. The beans seem to be doing great, but most of the other plants look weak and their growth seems to have slowed down. What am I doing wrong here?

Your issues could really stem from light deficiency. Make sure your light setup is strong enough, especially for the broccoli and tomatoes. They need plenty of light to promote healthy growth. If things don’t improve, it could be worth checking the soil conditions or moisture levels.
It sounds like your broccoli is getting a bit leggy, which usually means they're not getting enough light. Try moving them closer to your light source. As for the tomatoes, they might have been too crowded before you repotted them, so give them some time and definitely boost their light too. Also, beans are usually better started directly outside since they don't transplant as well.
