I'm still way way behind building my new room. I have some blocks of time coming up so I'm hoping to move it forward. I'm going to use your mix when I start. I assume you used a seedling mix to get them started?


I used the FFOF straight for seedlings, worked quite well. Germinated in wet paper towel for a few days. As soon as root sprouted, I planted in soil. The perlite approach is when I water more often as to not allow the roots to dry out.
