um, potting SOIL is different from potting MIX.
I just wanted to point it out in case you didn't know as you said potting SOIL above. The packages will be labelled accordingly.

Also, you can also google to make you own DIY potting MIX from peat, compost, and perlite.

Some of your seedlings look leggy already maybe? hard to tell without scale. I think your light needs to be much much closer - no more than 2-inches. If there is a height difference, prop the bottom of the squatter/shorter containers so the tops of all the seedlings are all the same height to have the same relationship to the light source. (I use cans, inverted cups, etc.)
