heat mat question

Chesapeake, VA(Zone 7b)

Hi all! I just rec'd my heat mat from the co-op going on here and I wanted to know if I can use it on the seedlings I have already going. 2/3 of my toms are up and on 2 or 3 of the peppers have popped up. If I put them on the heat mat now, will the peppers do better? Will it hurt the toms? they are in the same tray.
thanks

Generally you use the heat mats until they germinate and then take them off--keeping the heat under there once the seeds have sprouted can result in them getting leggy.

Ok, thanks ecrane. I may start some more peppers, I'll use it then.
