So far so good. They look fine.

Do you have drainage holes in the bottom of those cups?
Also, this would be better suited for the Cultivation section, not hydro and agroponics

Peat moss becomes very acidic over a grow man. I wouldn't recommend it as a sole substrate.

Well, I can't get my hands on some vermiculite or anything else around here. Even for these two, I searched for a week and had to go to the capital (Tehran) to find some.
Anyway, before transplanting, to prevent acidification, I intend to pulverize some egg shells to add to the mix. I hope it works.. because dolomite is almost non-existent where I live..

I do, but the weather being very damp here, won't I have problems keeping the soil aerated? Can I add perlite to potting soil?

Yup, you just add it at a 3:1 soil to perlite to potting soil ratio. And then don't over water
