MG is toxic

and foxfarm ocean forest runs hot so don't use that

look for peat moss base medium or coco to start seeds

organic soil is a good route

MIMedGrower · Mar 18, 2017

@jipp black magic is their soul to compete with ocean forest. There is a thread here active on it.

And I read Kellogg's patio plus is popular. I would recommend adding large chunky perlite about 20% by volume. Plain perlite. I know your vision is messed up maybe the person in the garden center can read the label.

If you use seedling mix or something like a pro mix with no nutes. You will need a general purpose complete nute about 2-3 weeks after they start making their first leaves.

If you cut black magic or Kellogg's with perlite it should be good for all stages. Just don't overwater. That's why people think ocean forest is too hot.

Sometimes seedlings twist or look uncomfortable for a minute. But they always grow fine.

And if you use a good potting soil ( not one that says feeds for 3 months). That feeds 2 weeks to 30 days you will have good results with minimal added nutes.

And those 1 gallon pots are good for 3 maybe 4 weeks if they are growing well. Then you need a 3 or 5.

I didn't know you were using sunshine mix. Is the vegetable organic one? Just cut it with perlite. It's fine.

I was not recommending seedling mix. I don't use it. It only sustains them for a week not much more.

But any seedling mix will be mild if you feel you need it. Your problems were just overwatering.

jipp · Mar 18, 2017

this is what im using.. so should be fine buy everything iv read.. just hot for seedlings.

chris.

jipp · Mar 18, 2017

ok ill try to get some untreated perlite today.. i have no clue what i bought as it was in a brown bag. heh..
ill save money then adn not worry about it.. and just pay attention to my watering.. if i still have problems ill try some seedling soil.

They are all too wet man. But they look healthy. Let them dry out for real this time. Likely a few days at least. You want moist airy soil most of the time is the plan.

to wet? all i did was water till it came out the holes.. i water day 2 days ago..
shrugs.

jipp · Mar 18, 2017

i think what you are seeing is treated perlite maybe?

i dunno, i waited till dry bone dry honest! and water till came out the bottom of the cup then that was it.

i thought that is what i had to do at this stage.

I can't see the label but I am pretty sure there is only a seedling starter charge in that. Good for a week or two max. It's a nuetral medium designed to be fertilized regularly. It's a greenhouse style mix. It also needs no additional perlite. It's ready to go. I wish I saw that. I thought you said you were using potting soil and miracle grow perlite.

If that says aggregate plus it's what you want but will need to fertilize in a week or two in those 1 gallon pots. Sorry for any mis direction on my part bud.

I used pro mix hp before. Same basic thing I think.

Just made post about the sunshine mix.

I see about the 2 different perlites now.

The plants look good. They are obviously growing huh?

MIMedGrower · Mar 18, 2017

Sorry man. The last thing I wanted was to cause any doubt or give misinformation. I hope I have corrected any.

jipp · Mar 18, 2017

so im ok? heh its ok man.

yeah you are seeing two different perliet.. im pretty sure the brown stuff was treated.. the last two solo cups i mix i just did the sunshine soil. ( this is my way of testing the perlite.. but sounds like i do not need it anyhow )

so i should be good for 2-3 wees in 1 gallon pot yeah?
