My Scenaro:
I'll be running SubCool's SuperSoil and gear (Plushberry). 7 gallon plastic pails not pots. I need plastic because pots are too wide for my small grow space. I'll be drilling them out and line with landscape fabric to function like Smart Pots. 600W HPS
I'll be planting cracked seeds right into the center of the pail surface. In a small recess of [FONT="]Pro-Mix Ultimate Seeding Mix and a touch of Perlite. So the seedling will be growing in the pails right from the start. I'll select out the male pails.[/FONT]
My Reading Here:
I'm wondering about the amount of SuperSoil, since so many have done it slightly different ways. I have read and seen the SubCool version, which is 1/4 to 1/3 aged SS on the bottom, the balance is straight base soil mix like Roots. Sounds good because I don't want to deviate from the man's plan. But then I see others use maybe 50% SS on the bottom, and they like it. Some of this depends on the strain, I realize.
Then I saw SubCools transplant video where he loads some straight (aged) SS, then blends a middle layer of SS and Roots. That seemed like a good idea as it cooled that second layer. I could have a third layer that was straight Roots.

My Question:
My worry is that the seedling will take off and hit that blended area of soil quickly. Would this be bad? Alternately I could blend a center layer with less SS
Thanks
