I am trying to transplant some dieing seedlings from a hydro setup(not enough experience.) and put them into a soil mixture .

I looked in the grow faq and couldn't find a good soil mix for what I have:
bone meal
blood meal
scotts premium soil.
perlite
vermiculite

anyone got a good mix for me?

I use 60% perlite and 40% potting soil myself.

The soil will have enough nutes for 30ds.

I have not used organic though.
It is probally easier to use than adding nutes.

If I had some I would prob add 30% organic and 10% potting soil.

Happy growing

if you have more seeds you may want to start germinating incase those plants do not make it.

Hope that is not the case.
You can always find somewhere to put new seedlings.

Happy growing

well what I'm gonna do is this is only my first pot it's about 6 in wide, I plan to transplant to my final pot right before flowering and I'm going to add bone meal to that, but all the transplants in between will use the blood meal.

I don't want to, it's already aerated enough, I flooded it to all hell and an hour later 3 inches below the soil was BAREL moist.
