Those are lil plastic cups? Check the roots and repot asap. Patches of crispyness on the leaves usually means Phosphorus deficiency. If the roots look ok, you should still repot but try giving them a light fertilizer tea with all three macronutes as soon as you can. A light Guano and Kelp Meal tea should work wonders.

Germinated seeds should be planted in a fairly inert medium like seed starter soil because they can't handle most fertilizers. Since there are no ferts in the soil, seedlings need to be transplanted into fertile soil when the 3-bladed leaves start growing in or they will start drawing nutrients from previous leaves. Regardless of nutrients, all plants should be out of the little plastic drinking cups by the time the 5-bladed leaves appear, at the latest imo.
