First time starting from seeds. Now that I have some sprouts, do I need to separate them and repot in something bigger? Anything else I should be doing?

You can leave 1 plant per cell either by culling the weaker plant or by separating them. Depending on your soil quality and the present nutrients within you may or may not need to feed these seedlings with weak fertilizer. They can stay in these cells until they grow to about twice the height of the cell itself then you can repot them in bigger containers/somewhere else.

Looks like they germinated well! I would however suggest more light. See how they are bending and stretching towards the light? A higher intensity light would be better but at a minimum you should move the light closer to the seedlings. Like 2-3 inches above them.

I would let them grow to get some true leaves on them (3 leaves) per plant and then transplant to bigger pots

Air flow. Get a fan before they get leggy.

Now you water and wait. Patience. Good luck because those peat or paper starter pots wick a lot of moisture away from your seedlings.

Play some Barry white to them every day.
