If your grow lights crank out a hefty amount of light they should be OK, just watch out so they don't get spindly & keep 'em well fed.
You can start them off in 4"- 6" diameter pots, or even smaller, just plant extras for when you lose some after transplanting.
Plant a bunch of seeds & select the most sturdy & robust seedlings for pampering in larger pots, mixing pot sizes to see how well they perform is a good way to tell just what you can get away with.
You should be able to get away (crowded) with 3 - 4 per square foot by the time they're ready to transplant outdoors next spring.
Ideally they would be happier in bigger pots with more room but "ideal" isn't always "practical".
