well to start with the jiffy pellets may not have NUTES in them but they have ACID, peat is pH ~4.5, ,where you want pH=6.8!!!
I don't know what nutes are in that soil, but I DO know you can get 'seedling starting mix' at any garden store and be a lot better off!
Yeah, if you do that you can plant the popped seed directly in the soil, only 1/4" deep, and keep the soil surface evenly moist until it sprouts.
Shit... somewhere under 'indoor' I have a grow log with pics of a setup for seedlings in soil... it's under 'miss stinky's first grow log'...
