Hello Dr.
Sounds ggod.. When the roots come out the bottom of the peat pots you will want to transplant the babies.. 1-3 gallons
Unless you live in the southern hemesphere you will need suplemental lighting... new plants need 18+ hours of light for their vegetative cycle..
If the plants are not getting adequate - direct light (which most windows do not provide) for 18+ hours the baby plants will STRETCH... yikes
and NOW you KNOWM

I agree with GK.....
Jiffy pellets work ok, but can dry out quickly and they don't give the tap root much room...transplant soon, and when you transplant, I would advise burying the stem that's coming out of the pellet almost up to the cotyledons when you transplant...this will help minimize any spindly or thin, stretched stems..
good luck!
