    What is the best soil for my seedlings, I put my 2 in miracle gro potting soil mixed with 30% perlite in a 1 gallon pot after they were germinated using rapid rooters and a humidity dome kit. I’ve heard that FFOF which is what I am going to use for veg and flower is to “hot” for seedlings. I also am looking for a soil that I don’t have to make myself other than mixing perlite or maybe peat moss in.

    Fox farms happy frog is great for seedlings and early veg because it isn’t as hot as ocean forest. Roots organic would be my second choice. Ocean forest can be used for seedlings. While it is a bit hot I have yet to have it kill a seedling. Typically it just burns the tips on n a set or two of leaves and by then the plant is big enough to get the benefit of the hotter soil. Personally I would avoid anything miracle grow. It has killed many more seedlings than ocean forest.

    I was Capt fox. Never had that issue. If u are worried than get happy frog. If not use lots of PERLITE. I even fed after week 1. I also did slurries and found that my plants were hungry going by feeding chart

    So when ur soil is dry ready to water or feed, do this
    Take a large shot glass of soil from ur plant and the same amount of distilled water and put in a cup. Stir around. Than put one meter in and get a reading. Than the other. So that will give u the true pH of ur soil. The ppms will tell u if ur plants are eating ur feeds or if they are hungry. So if I get a reading of 350 or under I feed. If it's over 350 i water. It's just that simple 20190827_051942.jpg

    The miracle grow seed starter looks like it would be a softer soil to germ in! But weed is tuff!
