fox farm vs. black gold.

[OrganicMechanic]

Fox Farm premium is good choice to check out, Black gold when dry is lot more compact and very hard that you need to break the surface out constantly when watering.
Mix in some Coco to help.

roadcam, i think i might be having the same problem. see my thread... http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-gro...s-expired.html

do you think the soil is the problem?

[unclebob]

Some strains when small seedlings are more vunerable to soil that is too hot than others. I start seeds directly in 18 oz cups filled 2/3 with my favourite soil mix, and the last 1/3 with light, no nute seed starting mix combined with 40% perlite. It works good for me. No burn and they get the nutes when they start to grow.

good luck
