LetsSeeYa, if youre talking about the peat pellets that expand at first watering, ive noticed they do affect growth a bit... not too bad, but enough that i will not be using them again. they even killed one of my lowryder seeds.

a friend of mine has had a similar problem, hes on week 4 and his plant is only 2 inches tall. its under 300 watts of the good leds, and 250 watts hps, hes using advanced nutrients, so i can assure you its not the lighting or fertz.

he noticed when letting the medium dry out between waterings, that the peat contracted away from the rim of the pot, suggesting that my lowryder seeds died because the peat was too dense and soggy.

youd be better off starting in some fertless seed starting mix, or some rockwool.

the best i have ever used, is starting in rockwool, then moving into coco coir in a very small pot, letting the seedlings get rootbound before transplanting. not saying its the best ever, but, upon transplant into bigger pots with advanced nutrients the growth is explosive, my blueberry clones went from 2 inches tall, to a foot and half in a week. granted i have great genetics to work with, but ive used organic mixes, compost, seed starting mix and others.. this method just seems the best so far outside hydro.
