Bev, they look great! They look so very healthy. I would start them in no less than one-gallon containers and repot them as soon as possible. That is just my opinion because seedlings have a tap root and a strong root system and need the room to grow in. They are generally resistant to rot or damping off when kept constantly moist because of their strong root system so you can worry less! LOL! Michael is right that seedling root systems develop very quickly. They will grow strong and well in one-gallon containers this summer, and then you can repot them next spring into three-gallon or five-gallon containers. Nebel's Rainbow is a nice one! Your hybrid may or may not look like its parents. Good job on getting the heat mats! I just ordered two more myself;-) Here is my Nebel's Rainbow below:
