Can I use this to germinate and veg(NEWB Here ,,,Any help appreciated)

sorry here are the pics

soil will work fine if that's all you can find - and if you can't get ahold of some perlite to help loosen it up a bit - I've heard of people using volcanic rock crushed up, which can usually be found as decoration, or for landscaping. My friend crumbles up tree bark into his soil to help loosen it up a bit, and it holds water... some people say it obstructs root growth... but uhhh... so does tightly packed dirt. haha

Oops, you beat me to the punch.

That soil looks great - some Perlite would help, but other than that it's perfect - better than mine actually.

hey thank u so much....nw dat i knw that i can use it...i can start off with sumthing....what do i add to this thing...some sandy soil...will that do ..or very small stones throughout the mix.....oh can i use small broken pieces of clay pots...in a fix...plz help...i dont knw where to find perilite, vermiculite etc.. here

and wont that nutrient content be too much for ssedlings...dats wat i read i guess...no nutes n all during germ n seedling stage???

oh by the way ...the pack says ..it has neem in it...is that safe to use....

If you can get some Styrofoam that would help loosen the soil up fill the bottom with the foam and get small like 1/4" ( smaller the better ) Make sure when you water you don't flood it because the Styrofoam will come to the surface. I know you have fish in India so grab a fish tank PH kit. This should have drops not tablets.

Need soil that is a picture of fertilizer but it will work. Are you growing in the ground? buckets? indoors? Info will help get you some better answers about what you are doing wrong. How long did your first plants last after you planted them? Stuff like that can help me tell you what you could be doing wrong. Depending on the area of India you are from you should have no problems whats so ever except raining season.

thank u again..for finding time t answer my queries..i was using garden soil from outside...untill i came across this..so i was confused.i havent met with muh sucess...i germinate the seeds nicely ..after dat problems start...most doesnt sprout up ...even if they do..they come out pretty crooked...and if they do survive il kill them my oversmartness (overwatering and heat mostly)...im trying indoors only...also have access to sunlight as i try in small party cups ..i have a 23 watt + 18 watt as of nw...dats it ..and trust me gettin ph testers or adjustment kits is nt dat easy ..forget vermiculite or perilite..tell me sumthing ... after ur seeds germinate(crak) and u place them in soilwaiting for sprout...wat is the lighting scenario...darkness or light..also iv tried green housing my seeds for 100percent humidity

What it sounds like is they get to the past the germination phase and start moving into the veg growth phase here they will suck any nutes in the ground until they are gone. If you keep them in party cups and they only last about 2-3 weeks thats because the roots bound by the size of the cup. Keep the light above the seeds about 6 inches sounds like you are using CFL's. They seeds need 18/6 until you are rdy to flower. then 12/12 lighting.

hey thank u for ur interest...i guess ill have to keep trying...maybe tommorow../...thanks neways...
