Thanks for the feedback SawneyIt's a learning process mate.️ knowledge is gained from every grow.
Let them go , soak up the light and build roots to sook up that water and nutrition.
A seedling needs no attention or water for at least 7 days
As long as you don't drench the seed or seedlings.
Small leaves don't metabolise all that water and can't root .

Thanks, Bll...that makes sense structurally; appreciate your thoughtsRegarding problems removing your plants along with their medium from the cups without too much physical disruption:
To a large extent this is likely due to the cups being so small and their shape. Particularly with the added tube (or not), the smaller cup is much more prone to disruption vs. a larger container (and also less prone to root binding problems). I use 1 qt./32 oz. plastic yogurt or cottage containers with no problems, everything slips out cleanly as one piece, and this even works well with relatively structurally weak coco with >25% perlite. Also the fluting vs. smooth sides of the cups likely make for uneven and better adhesion to the inside surface, make it harder to simply pop/slide out the whole mass.
Or if you want to stay with small cups, consider using paper cups, which can be torn, openings cut or cut off cleanly and have flat sides.
