Hi, I’m very new to growing vegetables. I planted tomato seeds which are covered with a layer of plastic, when should I remove the plastic and repot?

Once they sprout with their first set of leaves open and their stem straightened, you can start slowly making larger and larger holes in the plastic to start lowering the humidity, once it’s completely gone bc of how large the holes are, then you can put the babys in separate pots!
