I am seed-starting in hydroponic gardens. These seeds were SUPPOSED to be oregano (left) and horehound (right). These are clearly not those. Between research and my limited knowledge of wild plants, it seems like I’ve got broad-leaf plantain (left) and lambs quarters (right). Both of which are common “weeds” in my area of south-central Pennsylvania I believe. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Both of your guesses seem pretty plausible from what I can see.
lol I’m sorry OP but you are right- It’s broadleaf plantain and lambs quarters…
Plantain (plantago, not the banana kind) and goosefoot (chenopodium), while both are edible and used either nutritionally or medicinally, they are both more commonly regarded as weeds (even though some kinds of chenopodium are well regarded, like “tree spinach” and quinoa)
But both are edible!
I thought this picture was a bathroom sink and some giant mutant common weeds….
