insufficient light is making them super-leggy...i would start over were i you..what type of light are they under at what distance?

imo starting onions in particular from seed is a huge waste of time and effort...

They look like they're growing in a cave. Start over with a lot more light or buy transplants. You can eat the broccoli and onion sprouts so it's not a total loss.

was using florescent lighting... maybe it was too far away... Ive put 2 more lights in directly ( 2 ft) over the trays... Im not going to throw them away just yet... Someone told me to transfer to deeper posts... ehhh Im gonna just sit it out under the lights for a few days & see what happens... in the mean time, I have more seeds to start Sunday....

The lights should be one inch above the seedlings.

My light is only about two to 4 inches above the seedlings at the most. I think it's more like 3 inches, but they grow fine like that and not 24 inches above.

Besides the light being too far from the seedlings, they also look very wet. If the photos are showing their true condition, I wouldn't hold out much hope for their recovery if you do repot. Sorry. I'd start over while there's still time. JMHO.

I notice the covers setting next to them. You're not still using them are you? They need to be removed as soon as you get germination. Trust me those plants are way too far gone to produce anything. Chances are you will damage the stems during transplant. Healthy plants should be no more than 1/2" tall before you see the first set of true leaves and with my tomatoes this was only 5 days after germination. By 9 days they had a second set of true leaves showing.

I stopped using the covers 3 days after seeding.... I am starting a new batch of seedlings today/tomorrow.... whenever I get done weeding my yard... using a couple different methods..

gonna leave those already growing/dying as is just to see what happens

Someone gave me one of those as a gift several years ago, I tried it. Way too much work for me, an extra repotting step. I still have the clear top, I use to warm the soil for direct seeding or under pots.
