They don't take too long aslong as you have a dome/greenhouse over them. Usually it shouldn't take over 5-7 days for them to germinate (atleast from my experience....)

& I'd leave them in the pellets but if you really want the seeds try taking them out...I don't know if that would effect them though.... good luck!

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
