Hello
It is true that putting the seeds too deep in the soil makes them sick and causes problems in the later growth of the plant.?I rush by putting the seeds to deep in the soil by opening a hole with my finger. I usually did it with a pen and they emerged from the soil in 24 hours. These came out in 3 days later and seem somewhat weak. I say I should dig them up and put new seeds from the beginning using the same soil, adding mixing a little extra soil #the factor time is a luxury for me , cause i grow only 1 time a year so i dont have the time for a second grow .. I wouldn't want all of this to go to waste. What you guys think?

They look fine! One is a little stretched but that's no reason to start over.

The only thing I would suggest is to water in a ring about 1 inch away from the stem. This will help prevent dampening off and make the roots push out into the bigger pot more.

No, it doesn't. Might take a little longer to break the soil, but it won't cause long term issues.

i highly suggest you water the whole medium till a little run off first watering after transplant, roots grow and expand faster than you might think when the plant healthy and vigorous and they won't grow and thrive in too dry medium. when you moist the whole medium first watering roots will always find water as they grow.

Also if you let the soil dry for too long on the side just watering in the middle it might become hydrophobic and gonna be a pain to remoist evenly,

finally watering activate microbial life in the soil for processing nutrients.

then after moisting the whole medium till a little run off first watering you can water with smaller amount until the plant get big enough related to pot size. remoisting gently the whole soil surface, so it doesn't become hydrophobic, and concentrating what remain of water around the young plant trunk.
