I planted a bunch of seeds 2-3 days ago, 3 red cups of each variety, 1 seed per cup - I know peppers can take a while to germinate so I am wondering if I can rearrange the seeds without the risk of destroying them. I didn't soak them and check for floaters, and my temps crept up into the low 90s. I've realized that 1 seed/cup is NOT a very efficient use of space.

- Can I "rearrange" my already planted seeds to add room for an additional seed per cup that has been soaked and checked for floaters? Currently the seed is in the middle of the cup, can I gently use the back of a plastic spoon to move it over to one side and add another seed, or does this disturbing risk killing or hurting the seed?
- Would I be better off just planting another seed towards the side of the cup and not disturbing the already planted one?
- If I can move them, I would like to turn each variety from 3 cups with 1 seed to 2 cups with 2 seeds. This will give me an additional seed per variety, and I think more importantly, a little more room as I have some new varieties on the way. Right now I don't have room to plant my new seeds without consolidating some space.
