Well it was cheap and looked ok as it says on the bag, for seeds and cuttings.

I`ll plant my seeds now and post back soon and let you know.

that soil should be OK, if not ideal ... being mixed for 'cuttings' indicates it is mild ... if anything, seeds should be started in mild, NON-fertilized soil ... the best soils for growing can be hazardous to seedlings, too much of a good thing ... gentle soil, gentle light for young seedlings ... the perlite will help give you a well-drained, loose soil, just what they need ... keep it from drying out, without over-watering, that's the hardest part for most growers, including me ... don't fertilize the seedlings for at least two weeks, after they sprout ... :smokin:
