New Seedling Question

Some of my 5 day old seedlings need more soil added to the container. ironically my dad owns a small garden center and I was wondering if I can use some soil that I took from the gardening plants themselves(pretty much potting soil) and add that to the seedlings.

Thats ok, but how long are they getting? if they stretching too much you may need more light.

Some are about 3 inches, and you are right about the light, im using a 40w floodlight but im getting cfls or better ASAP. Btw the soil has little green pellets in it that seem to turn some of the soil green, would that be too much for the seedlings?
 
Yeah for sure :D. hes been doing that for 25+ years or so. back in the day he had huge grow ops, one of the biggest in BC at the time. Unfortunately I've never gotten advice on how to grow since hes stopped smoking thats why im here haha :P
 
i've heard those pellets are good for something i forget what i'll have to look it up. it shouldn't hurt the seedlings.
 
I bought some alfalfa based organic yard fertilizer once upon a time from some yup garden center. It looked just like pelletized rabbit food and it had a N of 3%. Talked to the fella at the feed store who sells rabbit food in 50 pound bags and it also precisely 3% N. for about 1/4 the price of the organic fertilizer. Now I am just going to start fertilizing with rabbit food if I ever build up enough energy to do that again. Not sure about the other letters but I will check into it.
