Seeds germinate without issue in a wet paper towel or coffee filter. They only need heat and moisture to pop. What you use for Germination is not important. Initial growing media is also not too important, they need light and heat and 'something' to spread their roots in. After getting a few true leaves - then they need the nutrients and good stuff.
