ATTN: I am changing my recommendation on something

Earlier in this thread, after discussion about it, I mentioned that I still think nutrient-enhanced potting soil is good for starting plants. That has been MY experience, and YES I have had problems because of the same soil later on. But I have since heard more than one person tell me the OPPOSITE: nutrient enhanced soil has been known to cause problems with seedlings and cuttings [also mentioned was that it might be ok to add later in the plant's life]. Although new soil shouldn't become potentially dangerous for atleast a couple weeks, I would now recommend playing it safe rather than be sorry.

This just goes to further show that the results of using nutrient enriched soil as your primary medium is unpredictable at best and herbicidal at worst. There are enough unpredictable things to worry about, being a grower

That's all I wanted to say! Hey hey! - N to the P to the K
