Seen many headaches from growers starting beans in peat pellets. Clones are ok in them but I wouldn't start seeds in them.

I would just wait and see if they pop out. It might be dangerous to take them out at this point. Make sure they don't dry out. I've seen starters grow in peat pellets but growth was slow I'm guessing it's because peat is so acidic and drainage isn't that great. After they start growing I'd take off the mesh and try to transplant into some good soil and hope for the best. I'm not saying things will go terribly wrong in the peat pellets. But I sure have seen and read more bad than good about seedlings in peat pellets. I've seen people pull it off with some success. Personally I wouldn't chance seeds in peat pellets.
