Another newbie question, I'm afraid! (I'm trying to restrict myself to one every 48 hours but I have a list of them now!!! 
)
I potted on my courgette seedlings a couple of days ago. They were in the modules (1 in each) that I had sown them in but their seed leaves were huge (8cm each on one of them) and I could see some root through the hole in the bottom of the module.
When I popped them out though there wasn't a huge amount of root on them; there was some but not a big tight mass of them. They seem to be doing fine and there first true leaves are beginning to grow but I don't know whether I risked hurting them by potting on too early.
In general, would it be better to wait until I get the first true leaves on all my seedlings before potting on from their modules?
Thanks again in advance!

If they aren't F1's where you don't get many seeds, I would usually sow two in each pot and thin out the weakest if both germinate.
