Can I still save the top 2? Leaves are green, not sure if it was water or my late tlights. They are aerated now, SF-1000 is at 70% and approximately 18" away.
They were originally under a LED GE Seedling Grow Light.
I think the biggest problem here was, as you suspected, overwatering. The fact that they STILL have green on them says to ME that they CAN be saved - at least it's worth the try. Give the stems a little bit of support so the leaves are not lying on the soil and are as upright as you can GENTLY make them... this might be with a piece of paper folded into a V - something that is not going to poke into the soil at all and disturb any of the roots. Then also lower your lights to about 11" and let them be... do NOT water them again until the soil is really dry. With luck, they WILL survive - and weed is a pretty resilient plant so the odds are good.
Seedlings need only a little bit of moisture to grow... when they first pop from the soil, they don't have much of a root system and it's VERY easy at this point to drown them... the soil should just be sprayed a bit and always always always left to dry out before giving them another drink.
Good luck... you CAN do it!
I’d germinate two seeds as a back up, mine stretched during the extremely warm weather we had. I Put another batch to germinate as back up and glad I did or I’d be 3 weeks behind instead of 1. I think you overwatered them and they may of stretched for light, my lights two inches away from my seedlings check with the light manufacturer for best distance for seedlings stage🤗 happy growing
