Regrettably, I did not read the header posting carefully.
I have to add, that you are not doing a favor to your seedlings, to plant them in singles, into tiny containers.
I wonder, why things are made complicated artificially, that this even starts with "floating".
You can stick more than 100 seeds into one 50 cm balcony box. (Use tweezers to grasp them by the edge to avoid squeezing the central embryo, and stick them into lines that you squeezed into the substrate using a piece of a ruler or such)
Then, for approx. 1/2 y you will only have to rinse the box, every couple of days, and THEN you will separate and replant the strongest seedlings into containers of appropriate size or, much better, into the same balcony box again, 10 to 20 seedlings in two lines of 5 and 10 respectively.
Note that it makes a difference whether you concede a substrate volume of 1 L to one plant OR 10 L volume that it is being shared by 10 seedlings.
