Hi all. My plans for my next grow are always changing and it went from indoor back to outdoor via greenhouse. I have a few seeds of two different strains and was wondering if I can germinate them in my existing soil, 33% peat/coco, 33% perlite/clay pebbles and 33% EWC/woody compost amended with neem, alfalfa, kelp, crab, dolo, gypsy and rock dust. My girls are finishing up in the current media (my first grow ever).
 
I always use a seed starter mix that has no nutrients in it. An inert medium.
 
Thanks for the reply Rosebud. Should I try them in the red solo cups with some seedling mix? If so, how should I do the drain holes on the bottom?
 
Cut the bottom edges with scissors and then poke some holes in the cup. I use a skewer to do that. Keep a saucer under them and soon they will drink up the water left in the saucer. Don't leave water in the saucer now, but when they get older.
Red solo cups with seed starter sounds perfect. This is my favorite method of germinating seeds. http://mandalaseeds.com/Guides/Germination-Guide it is a good read. makes sense.
 
Alright, thanks for the link. Was just in the middle of a youtube video lol. Thanks again!
