When to seperate sprouts?

I placed 2 or 3 seeds each in some small peat cups with soil and left them hidden outside to sprout. Well they have, and in some of the cups, both of the seeds sprouted. They are going to be outdoor plants. I know that the two sprouts can't stay next to each other forever, but if I dig them up now they will die, since they only sprouted yesterday. When is it safe to separate each sprout into its own container? The only reason I did it this way is because I have a book that has pictures, and there are two or three sprouts in each cup. Plus, I didn't know how many would sprout. Sorry if this is a noob question. Thanks!

never put them together in first place. they will be all tangled up.........good luck

yea never plant more than one seed to a pot really hard not to damage the root system when gettin them untangled

Should I cut one stem from each cup, killing the plant so it doesn't grow any more? Then I can let the other one grow safely. That way at least I know I'll have half as many healthy plants instead of all dead plants.

I would just cut one myself but that's just me im not that experienced of a grower yet lol

Common practice for lettuce,tomato,etc growers because of readily available seeds and snip off the weekest sprouts.With precious MJ seeds a no no.I would take a bowl of ph'ed room temp water and put them in there and very gently wash off soil/peat and separate.

Okay Dalek, I'm gonna go check on them tomorrow, and try to separate them. I'll get some before and after pics.
