Electric Propogater

Can anyone help me my wife got me an electric propogater and i have sown sweet peas in it i was a bit late in sowing them as pkt said oct and i have sown them 1st week nov i have never used one before and most have germinated and growning away quite happily they started sprouting last wed my question is this how long do i leave them in there before i transport them to the green house to grow on in cooler conditions do i wait for them to grow true leaves or can move them now.

    I wouldn't have put them in there.

    I'd have them out on germination before they get all soft and leggyimage

    David K will know the best route forward

    i wasint  sure if i had put them in the green house if they would germinate as the green house isint heated and i thought if i had put them in the propogater then they would have a better chance of germinating i havent grown them before so wasint sure how they would do image thought they mite go the same way as my fox gloves... down the pan image
