Hey bro I can see the claws a bit seems minimal, especially on the bushier one. It does look like a bit too much nitrogen, but honestly, they still look healthy though. Color’s good, no real burn, no twisted growth.
No need to flush yet. If they’re straightening out between waterings, just ease off a little. Let the soil dry more before next watering, and maybe add some plain water next time to buffer it a bit. That alone might balance it out.
Your personal soil’s doing a great job though, seriously, nice structure and healthy plants. 👊
Just keep an eye on it and don’t panic. Looking really good for week 4.

The ones with dark/glossy lower leaves definitely have a bit too much N
So, it's the soil that is providing too much... Flushing may be your only option. You've made it in a way that releases too much Nitrogen. Adjust your soil constitution next time to avoid this issue. This time all you can do is try to dilute it, but this may also make something that is fine now deficient after the flush.
Keep a close eye on it for new symptoms caused by the flushing. If the darkness/glossiness reduces, you know it's trending in the right way in regard to nitrogen.
I normally don't recommend flushing except in extreme situations, but this is a soil you made that isn't going to just stop releasing N, so the problem will get worse and the only option it to attempt to dilute what you have amended it with... this will inevitable cause a domino effect of other issues, so be ready to supplement things other than N, if needed.
