Did you see the soil recipe I decided on Kat? It is Seed Starting soil (made by one of those companies 'Ferrymorse seeds?' that sells vegetable seeds in the garden section of walmart.) cut by 1/3 with vermiculite.

I ended up planting them in empty, top cut off, Ocean Spray half gallon rectangle bottles.

Hopefully this soil will work better. The juice bottles were made into hempy buckets by the way (Passive Hydro- and YES, it works. 15inch long roots for a 2 inch tall plant
