I just use the egg cartons to get them started. The pint size cups I finish them in are so tall the heat from the heating pad doesn't get to the top and it doesn't get warm enough to sprout seeds. I'll move them to the bigger cups when they are about 1" tall or so. I didn't need to start the tomatoes so soon, but peppers are slow to start. You have to keep them very warm, 75 to 85f.
