I I love me some soil lol not sure if I will ever switch it's what I know. I'm use to growing actual flowers and food outside I could look into that maybe for my seedlings. Though really haven't had a problem being too hot other than Kool aid here. Maybe because she is auto and more sensitive? My new crop loves it! They are beasts and right next to Kool aid. Same soil, same lights etc. My first crop had issues in the beginning but it was my fault no humidity and root bound. I got awesome soil outside when it warms up I could use for my babies too.
