If you're using a grow light you need to get them pretty close to the light so they won't get as leggy.

I use a red/blue spectrum LED grow light. I will try that on my next round of broccoli. Thanks!
If the temp is to high it can make them leggy also.
Yes, I usually have them in higher temp to germinate and then I move them to a lower temp under the grow light. Would I still see germination at the lower temp I wounder?
Depends on the seed. But yes most likely. It will just take a little bit longer at a lower temperature. You could also not fill the trays all the way up with soil. Then when the plants get leggy you can fill it in the rest of the way and the stem will shoot off root.
Thanks for the tip! I usually end up potting up the leggy plants.
Oh, so did you use lamps on these plants in the post above?
I did. Along with a small heater.
