i started 2 seeds today - Nirvana Northern light. starting in water today going to paper towel them tomorrow. . I need input on starting medium, my first grow did not start well and i am having problems (Grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/591779-first-serious-grow-fem-nl-nirvana.html) so i am adding these 2. I have perlite, potting soil with pretty much no nutes at all (seedlings were hungry at one week) Miracle Grow moisture control, miracle grow organic - anybody got a good ratio suggestion? I need something with enough nutes to get my plant going but not burn them.
40 perlite / 60 soil. Requires watering more often but it helps drainage for flushing and makes it difficult to overwater.
OK, I need a good ratio for the soil mix, like i said the plain old potting soil i have has absolutely NO nutes- at a week old my seedlings were screaming for nutes in a 50-50 plain potting soil / perlite mix. Like i said i have miracle grow moisture control and organic. I am sure that the miracle grow by itself is too strong so i need the right mix ratio on that.
