dont touch them! leave them alone,
a couple tips when using peat pellets:
-pull the neting back off of the top so the soil wont be compressed too much
-dont sprinkle any soil/peat to cover the seed, leave the seed uncovered, that makes it easier for the seed to sprout.
-once the seed is standing, add some soil/peat around the base of the stem for extra support
-plant the taproot down, but dont press them into the cube too hard, just lay them in there
-make sure to bury the taproot, but leave the seed above soil
-leave about half a cup of water in the bottom of the tray
-wait until the sprout is fully developed and has about an inche sticking out of the bottom of the peat pellet before transplanting
