Jiffy Natural and Organic 12 dry quarts.
Six Bucks.
Bio-Gro Endo Plus, 1/2 cup per batch of SS Mix.
Cost forgotten, lol.
1/3 Gallon H2O.
Free.
Stirred fervently with a broom handle.
Serves about 20 16-ounce SS Mix clear cups.
NEVER any problems nor complaints.
A plus to add one brick of Burpee Coir SS Stuff, lol.
Adds structure to the other butt just a little more work,
started FIRST and added to by other, adding in the Myco between the two substances.
THAT takes a gallon of H2O.
Again, NO problems. I have never seen that anyone does it this way.
500 others, though.

If the recipe requires buying something then it should give stellar results. As I said the best results Ive probably ever gotten were just the composted cow manure, plus maybe some "dead bee juice." But I dont remember exactly... its witchcraft or wizardry that determines what works and what doesn't. Miracle grow potting mix is my top purchased product this year but nothing is the same everywhere for everyone, it depends on the local recipe, the batch, how long it sat in the bag, and the ph of the water that's added. Its always been so hit or miss for me.

Okay, I get ya, butt if it works for me, it'll work for anybody, and NOT potting mix. I almost hate that term, anymore, lol. Per my PB, at least I can get them GOING great.
No wrinkled leaves and misunderstood first true leaves, no color problems and such. Whatever works for ya and a tiny
spot to have my way seen. eg

I realize there's a difference between seed starting mix and potting mix. But a good potting mix will outperform a poor seed starting mix... so I dont really care. I just want to quit playing the purchasing game. The best things are free/ if you want it done right you gotta do it yourself.
