Fox Farms Light Warrior is an excellent medium for sprouting or transplanting seedlings to when potting up. I've been using it for the last 3 years. Ami

I use coffee filters too since they don't fall apart when wet. Instead of ziplock bags I use those hard plastic containers that you get when you buy some bake goods.
This pre-sprouting method works extremely well. I do it for larger seeds like peas and beans which germinate much faster and more reliably that they would otherwise when planted directly outside in soil.
