Happy Frog from what I hear is pretty good. I believe a lot of people on here use it, but I have not. I've used Fox Farms Ocean Forest and Gardeners Gold, both of which worked great for me. Don't use Miracle Grow, especially for seedlings. And whatever you use, add a little more perlite to it. Your plants will love it. :blsmoke:

your soil will probly be fine for seedlings. i heard jiffy pellets can be very bad for seedlings and kill them, but im not 100% positive its just what i read. i would personally just germinate them in your soil, and also if you can add perlite. im not sure how much nutes are in happy frog, but i would wait a least 2-3 weeks before feeding your plants.

Roots Organic with 6 dry measure cups of perlite to the 1.5 cu ft bag is what I start all my cuttings and seeds in. Not much work to it just dump half the bag in a 5 gallon bucket add 3 cups and just shake the hell out of it and boom perfect seedling soil. Transplant 30 days after they pop into their final home with super soil in the bottom 1/3 to 1/4 depending if she's a nute hog and come harvest time you'll have some healthy happy fat buds on her.

i would take it off soon, seedlings dont really need a really moist climate. but the soil should be damp for the first few days
