The frog is clearly happy. I can't imagine him wanting anything that isn't already in this bag, but I guess you all about to ruin that notion. Whatever. Let's hear it.
That's really great advice. I have to ask something that's been rolling around in my head. I transplant all the time(regular plants) but with my first grow of a plant I have no experience with, I wondered two things. 1. Do I plant the seedling in whatever pot I believe the size of the plant could eventually grow into, adding nutrients as needed. Or 2. Start with the soil I've chosen and continue transplanting into larger and larger pots adding more of the already nutrient rich soil therefor eliminating extra amendments because the roots keep digging into fresh soil? Mind you. I am not apposed to adding nutrients. It's Just me thinking.Oh and it needs at least 25% more large perlite mixed in for proper drainage.

Oh. Look at you with the jokes. :))But start in pro mix or 50/50 pro mix and chosen soil , less chance of burning your delicate seedlings .....
Since you seem to be a perfectionist
Dude. You're the best. lol. I was out watering the garden. HaBut always listen to your gut instinct

Those strawberry dudes look scary , hey frankster , do you start seedlings directly in these products ?My favorite soil, hands down, (frog brand) it's what I use as a base soil, actually. Right now I've got the strawberry, because they were out. But I've used them all.
That said, I own 12 acres of virgin rainforest by Seattle, in the cascades. I should be digging my own dirt, from my land, but have access problems to overcome right now. I plan on making my own soon.
Yes , it's good stuff , you can choose to grow directly in pro mix and add nutrients , or you can do as I like to do occasionally , mix the pro mix and a nutrient rich soil like happy frog .
Yes ,also my old habits stay with me , I have bales of pro mix , not that much access to fox farm where I am ........I did. Fox farm ocean forest. No visible signs of burn with my seedlings. But it’s strain dependent. Add 25% more perlite to prevent any burning.
