Simple Seedling Mix

This is the same as my seedling/clone soil with a couple exceptions.

I'd cut the cow manure and replace that portion with peat. I'd also add some ag lime

The lime is to make sure your ph is on point.

So it'd be more like;
40% peat
40% perlite
20% worm castings

I should have posted before making my mix with cow manure added. My babies have a slight burn. Next round it will be without the manure.

Pretty sure the stuff he's talking about is Calcium bentonite( I personally wouldn't use it.)

If so this makes sense being a seedling does better the more available Calcium it has as it can pick up more nutrients from the get-go.

Try a test..

Try throwing a 1/2 cup of gypsum(Calcium Sulfate) in per Cubic foot as well as your ostyer shell flour for a portion of your seedling soil. Put it up against the soil that doesn't have gypsum and you'll see a huge difference. It doesn't take much to start a seed, but when you have the right stuff in right proportion you'll see a different plant and root system.
