I vote no. Just leave them alone for a week or two. Keep them close to your lights and
they will take off next week. You can decide then how many you want to keep. If one
is way behind and tiny you can just cull/snip with scissors.
A bit of dilute liquid fert like Neptune they will need at that time. Hold back on watering once you see their true leaves.

Here is an early tray of my own saved seeds way overgrown. I had potted up what i
needed, (you can see the empty cells), a couple weeks earlier. This was headed to the
compost so i tossed it aside. -i started 6 seeds of each variety, 2 per cell.

Friends have been enquiring so i decided to give these a nice bath checking for aphids.
Without much care i pulled them out by their stems, pulled them apart, potted up in recycled cleaned red cups, deep, after dipping in a bath of dilute peroxide,....(i have had minor
fungus gnats and aphids under control but just for safety)...I now have a few extra
dozen plants to give away. They look great now two weeks later. Ready for new homes.

So best to wait, but not as long as i did...
