I do it as a matter of course for all seeds these days, but in the
days when I grew veggies, I simply used pure vermiculite. Those guys
germinate so rapidly and need transplanting so quickly that
vermiculite worked fine...just have to monitor it for moisture. Also
need to add liquid feed (very dilute) once they begin to form true
leaves as vermiculite has nothing nutritious in it (at least that I
ever noticed). But, you should be transplanting to individual pots
about that time with these plants anyway.
