About to start 4 beans from seedsman: strain is mimosa EVO. Starting them in red solo cups under a couple 6500K CFLs. I eventually will repot into FFOF, but for the solo cup would u use this over the FFOF to start? Couldn’t get my hands on any happy frog.

I wouldn’t, it will be strong and the ph will be out. Even though it states excellent for cuttings. Run some water through it and test ph and ec level of the run-off, that will answer your question. You should use a lightmix with a ph above 6, I’ve added coco into my mixes to weaken the load. Also good for oxygen, etc.

I just have a really firm rule.

I won't ever use any miracle grow product on my weed again.

It stunted the shit out of my seedlings.

Did you look for Light Warrior Seed Starter soil?

I had to use a little bit of MG for 2 repots. Both of them were over fed with N and became very dark green. Seemed to slow growth as well. I wouldn't trust it. I also use light warrior now by FF.

Why not start them in peat moss?

Cheap and super effective.

People think seedlings need nutrients. Outside of moisture they have everything they need to pop right inside of that amazing little bean.

Kind of contrary to their name, eh?

They’ll be fine just water the soil a few times before planting
