Sounds like a good one Ayr0n, you could be right about the soil though, you may want to cut it a bit with peat or the like. I found once I switched my seedlings to 50/50 peat/soil they fared better, doesn't burn them but provides enough nutrients to get them going/rooted.
You're using the promix BX for your peat right? Seems like a hell of a deal, could really stretch soil further for not much added expense. Only thing that concerns me a little is the 'wetting agent' ...whatcha think about it?
The wetting agent is a good thing. I'm a pro-mix grower and I'll tell you one thing about it, when it dries out it actually repels the water. I use a sticker/spreader every few waterings to combat that. Trust me, you want the wetting agent. I don't know if the wetting stuff is organic like you like but the "BX" is the pro-mix with myco so it must be organic compatible. Maybe that'll set your mind at ease.
That's exactly the one I use, the Pro-Mix HP with the mycorrhizae, switched to it about a year ago, just mix it 50/50 with local triple mix and it makes a great medium. Not hot enough to take you through flowering without supplemental feeds but great for seedlings, clones and veg.
Thanks guys. The new cuttings were in good shape this morning. really perky, haven't noticed any droopiness yet. On the CSS cuts I removed all the flowers and only left a couple small fan leaves at the top node. They seem to be doing good so far. Just to be safe I used rooting gel on the monster crop cuts, hopefully that'll cut some of the time off the rooting process. I've decided to start leaving the vent on the dome open a little from day one, so they still have high humidity, but fresh air exchanging constantly without me having to remove the dome at all.
I highly recommend "How to Troll the Trolls" by Mr. X. Trollface and "Reverse Race Baiting" by Dr. R. Bait.
Back to basics, sit in the background for a bit, easy to get sucked into useless threads
When I'm researching or looking for opinions on something, I sub to a bunch of threads/sites on the subject and just do some background reading. No particular sites, I just Google the subject matter and follow any links that look alright. Tons of info, just have to sort through the crap and refine your searches, there is crap out there! I'm a data/facts guy, I'll read papers/studies before threads or magazine articles if available.
That's nearly verbatim to the advice I give when people ask me for good breeding books. It's sort of controlled and targetted yet oldskool web surfing. Pick a subject and stick with it for a while, but occassionally branch off to topics that provide more background.

You guys mess around w/ the google search operators at all?
I do from time to time but they change so often usually I just fine tune the searches through different keywords and order of words.
I do yes. Mostly site: and +"keyword" to make it mandatory, handy when using multiple keywords. I suggested the site: search in combination with Google images many times to diagnose plant problems based on pics across several cannabis sites. I also use the minus operator occasionally if the search results are cluttered with non-relevant results. Like adding -"cannabis" -"marijuana" to whorled phyllotaxy or just to see how common certain terms are outside the cannabis industry, for example: https://www.google.com/search?q=-"cannabis" -"marijuana" defoliating
