nice pics by the way!

Thanks. The soil is supposedly Organic. Its not a very compact soil, either. Its mainly a bunch of larger items with soil mixed in. When I noticed that the first plant had roots coming out of the starter pod it was all I had on hand. I used it for the other two because I didn't want much to differ in what I was using, its only three plants.

I use it with a lot of my veggies as starters and my wife plants houseplants in it. It is pretty light a mix and does hold water well enough, it just dries quickly in the top two inches.

Thanks for all the info though. I mainly dropped in to post a pic. When I noticed that the third plants seed never germed I threw in a couple of other stuff's seeds and used the bigger pot with the same mix as the other two. I figured atleast one seed would sprout with being germed. This morning I though one plant was starting but this is what I found about 20 minutes ago.

I guess I'll wait till tomorrow and see which is showing stronger then clip the weaker plant. I really dont want a fourth plant now and dont wanna disturb the young roots of them anyways.
