is this a good soil mix?

good morning

i bought these ingredients and im thinking of mixing them like this

organic top soil= 55%
sea compost (2-1-1)= 25%
perlite= 20%

sound good? any suggestions? can i transplant directly right now or do i have to let the soil dry out for a day?

a quick answer will be appreciated im very eager to transplant in new 5 gallon home

Hi
what stage are the plants in? IMO id add earthworm castings and some more perlite ( generic organic potting soil have lousy drainage)def add some dolomite lime to keep youre PH buffered.

if theyre seedlings/sprouts youre putting in this soil its best to not have ANY nuts in it, it can burn youre plants.also if its for seedlings/sprouts (you never specified) i would normally water the soil, dont drench it and let it drain really well than throw in youre sprouts, hope this makes sense i smoked too much

*types with dirty hands*

transplant done!
i ran out of soil to fill in a few inches at the sides...
so i filled em with my dreaded leftover miracle grow...
i hope it wont hurt them but its such a small amount i dont think it will
