| I don't use that. I just buy the Peat moss and perlite, mix then add compost. Nothing else, the seeds love it, I start giving compost tea to them when they get their true leaves, and I use artifical lighting and bottom heating |

| I use a 2-1-1 mix of Sphagnum peat moss/perlite/coarse sand. I get the sand from a builders supply. I don't worry about PH either. I used a T8 P&A and a T5 for lights above my gas stove where the pilots kept the trays at 75-80F. I got 90-95% germination on all saved and most bought seeds this year. |
