Question About Soil

Hey everyone Im about to start my first grow after buying an aerogarden I realized im too noobish and will probably just fuck it up so I decided to just germ in the garden then switch the seeds into some soil. I went out today bought some organic soil, perilite, bone meal,blood meal, some seaweed and fish nutes, supervite, and a couple other things and I wanted to know for just seeds do I need to mix the perilite and bone meal and everything? or can i just stick the seeds in some of the organic soil then when I get ready to transplant switch into a big pot of all those ingredients? Also the organic soil I bought was being stored outside do you think it might have any unwanted critters in there? and if anyone would like to let my know of a good mix with the perilite, blood and bone please let me know because i bought very little of everything. edit: ps im trying to get a very small grow gowing like maybe 3 plants at most. EDIT again: I also forgot to add what kind of soil. I bought sunshine organic soil. It says it already have perlite and dolomite in it should i just throw in some bone and blood and if i do should i even measure or can i just toss some in and mix?


Edit: Alright forget all that im not even sure what it says I mixed all my shit up I dont know how to store it though. I put it in a large rubbermaid with a lid and threw the bags of bonemeal and bloodmeal in there with it. I just put the whole thing in my grow closet. Is this alright? Is it too warm? should i move it outside to the cold?



thanks

Good morning JohnnyQuest [1 of my favs as a kid ]...lol.
I hope you did`nt use all your SS soil in the mix. The nitrogen will probably fry the seedlings, it`s a very fast release.
Let your soilmix sit in the closet, won`t hurt a thing for a couple weeks and plant into the bare Sunshine organic mix.
When the cotlydon`s [ 1st set of rounded leaves] start to yellow then it`s time to start feeding em.
Hope this reply is`nt to late.

I put 3 or 4 teaspoons of blood meal and bone meal in a small amount of soil then mixed it up and put it in cups then put my seeds in em then i threw the rest of the soil in the tub i was mixing in. Is that wrong?

Well ya don`t really need any ferts yet.
If ya can transplant the seeds to some just plain old potting soil , like I said the blood meal will fry those little roots, might not seem like much to us , but to them little roots
woooee it`ll be hot.
