Using Different Soil For Germination vs. Veg/Flower

How many people use different soil for germination and seedling than they use for veg and flower?

First grow here, only a five days from putting seeds into soil. I'm using Fox Farm Light Warrior in jiffy pots to start. When I transplant into the larger pots using 1 part Light Warrior mixed into 2 parts Ocean Forest. From a bunch of reading it seems FF runs hot on its nutes and wanted to cool it down a little. Just not sure what kind of transplant shock this will cause, people seem split on if it will or not. By the way, planted 1 Vanilla Kush and 1 Critical Kush.

You want to start in a seed starter of course. But the Ocean Forest is the top soil organic. So you may want to mix that in your light warrior. But it really depends on how long you plan to veg. Before you straight transfer from seed starter into full strength soil mix. I use Espoma seed starter than change to Roots Organic.

Promix bx or hp for seedlings.
Then this time around using around 30% promix hp and 70% roots organic original.
Been 50 days and still haven't had to feed them.
I have healthy green 2-3 foot bushes.

I'm doing the 1 part light warrior to 2 parts ocean forest for the rest of my grow. The jiffy pots I found are small so I don't think they will be in them for more than 3 weeks. I'm growing in an armoir so was only going to veg them for 4-6 weeks before the switch. I only have about 5 feet of grow height so topping and lst will be done to them.

The Vanilla Kush is 2 days from breaking the soil. I think I lost the Red Cherry Berry (the seed was pale and germed weak so no surprise), started a Critical Kush yesterday as a replacement.
