Default Propogators - Lid Removal to Planting Out?

Hi,

I've several un-heated propogators in my small "greenhouse" that all have seedlings showing at various stages (1-7 days).

The propogators are all vented which I can adjust if need be.

Golden question for the experts out there:-

a) At what stage should I remove the propogator lids?
b) What stage should I start to move the seedlings into their own larger pots?
c) What stage should I plant out into my raised vegatable bed which has a cover over it if needed?

Thanks in advance and look forward to your replies, all advise greatly accepted

i'd just take the lids of now, they won't be needing the extra heat if they are in a greenhouse, just don't let them dry out.

prick out the seedlings once they have grown the first set of proper leaves and hold them by the leaves at this stage.

planting out times depend on what you are growing, but most stuff should be ok outside now.
