sorry for posting multiple separate questions.
i have a theory hopefully someone can correct, but i was thinking to mix potting soil and vermiculite 50/50 for my seedlings this time, last time was just dirt and it caked thick and stayed moist and the plants had slow growth. would the mix of good oxygen flow/moisture/and Nitrogen solution help a plant reach further into its potential?

"and take me disappearing, through the smoke rings of my mind,
down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
the haunted frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
far from the twisted reach, of crazy sorrow.
yes the dance, beneath the diamond sky, with one hand waving free,
silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
with all memory and fate, driven deep beneath the waves,
let me forget about today, until tomorrow."~bob dylan

A soiless mix of 1 part peat, 1 part verm, and 1 part perlite is great. Retains moisture, drains well, and is inert. It will get good oxygen with that mix. You may need to adjust the pH a bit. That's an easy fix with dolomitic lime.
Either I misunderstand you or you have falsely assumed nitrogen is the big plant fix. While large amounts of N are used during the veg stage, a full nutrient regimen is necessary for strong, large, disease resistant plants.
