that soil should be OK, if not ideal ... being mixed for 'cuttings' indicates it is mild ... if anything, seeds should be started in mild, NON-fertilized soil ... the best soils for growing can be hazardous to seedlings, too much of a good thing ... gentle soil, gentle light for young seedlings ... the perlite will help give you a well-drained, loose soil, just what they need ... keep it from drying out, without over-watering, that's the hardest part for most growers, including me ... don't fertilize the seedlings for at least two weeks, after they sprout ... :smokin:
