Lol, yeah we already found both those things out the hard way. She ate a few that germed on a windowsill the first grow we had kinda going outdoors. She's a good girl now and knows better and the plants stay out of her reach except for picture time. As far as the seedlings, we started them in that rapid rooter tray, and thats where they died. The only ones still living in plugs were transplanted to the soil and they all took off None of the dead ones ever saw a pot, poor guys. If you look back at my "It's a girl!" thread in the grow lounge you can see those little seedlings. They were started in fox farms ocean forrest soil and they loved it! We had some that it caused a bit of nute burn on the first sets of leaves and they looked kinda shitty but then 2 weeks in they started loving it too. So yeah, I agree, fox farms = too hot for seedlings.
