if you have good seeds, you can get seeding pellets or something specially made for seeds and rooting. most importantly, you want it warm near 80's constantly, and moist but not wet constantly. if you provide these conditions and have viable seeds, then you will have good sprouting. as soon as they sprout they need a good light source, to prevent stretching, and you can transplant to whatever good soil that you get

If you want to make super soil, it has to be done before hand as it needs to "cook".
I use either Rapid Rooters (spongy starting plugs) or soil designated as a seed starter mix. Stay away from anything that has added nutrients or moisture crystals when starting seeds. After germination, I use an organic soil from Home Depot (when growing in soil), but it is not available anywhere but the western US. Many people use Sunshine or Fox Farms soil. Most soil still need some amendments added--things like perlite, peat moss, lime, organic meals, etc.
I find that I get the best germination at about 75-80. The do not need much light while they are germinating and very small as it is easy to burn them and/or let them get too dry with intense light too soon.
