yes that is a good one. mine had .05/.05/.05 which is really nothing just enough to last 2 weeks for them. so you wont have to feed them nothing but molasses since the molasses takes time to break down in soil. Jartlow is right on. listen to him.

I'd get some of it asap. Don't give up on your current plant

Soil has to be your issue as I really don't see much run in your steps

Ok I'll be getting that either later on this evening or tomorrow morning. Thing is, what can I do with the soil she already is in? Nothing?

I wouldn't suggest anything. You just transplanted her so one more time this quick could stress her to the point of death. For the seed your germinating I would suggest a jiffy pellet or something until the soil arrives. One thing I would suggest is no humidity dome. That's one variable you haven't tried yet

He meant as to keep it from killing his seedling.

As far as watering if you put your finger about 2 inches deep and there is still moisture then ignore the rest.. If there isn't I'd say warm up the water drop the molasses and feed 1/4 strength veg nutes.

Guys, I couldn't find any soil you guys recommended but I did find a soil that has .05 - .04 - .03 it is the lowest npk i could find. Is that fine? It has reed-sedge peat, spagnum peat moss, composted rice hulls, dolomitic limestone, and wetting agent.

yes that will work. now that will feed your plants for 2 weeks. only thing to do is water with molasses. like i said mine has .05 .05 .05. mix up 1/2 tablesppon molasses in 1 cup hot water then add that to a gallon jug and fill with water taht has been sitting out at least over night. i add 3/4 of the soil in and get it nice and moist then i add plant and top with soil and slowly water till its good and moist. if its a tiny seedling or a seed fill it up with soil then make hole and then slowly water so the soil can obsorbe the water/molasses and when its moist stop wait 5 min then repeat. keep doing this till you get a little runoff from bottom of pot. then stop put molasses mix if ay left in fridge label it plant food or dump it into another plant or your outside garden. dont let it sit around more than 2 days out of fridge. dont even think about watering it for 5 days. when i do any thing in soil this is how i see if its real thirsty. in the drip pan i add 1 cup water/feed if it drinks it up in 1 hr then it needs water if it takes 2 hrs wait another day. if it doesn't drink it in 3 hrs then give it 2 more days. now this means you have holes at the bottom of your pot and a drip pan. oh yeah the 1 hr is for 1 gallon or bigger pots.

either soil with .05 isnt allot at all. just means dont feed for 2 weeks except molasses which you will use from now on.

Ok so I went with the 0-0-0 and have my gallon with the 1/2 TBSP of molasses, since it is 0-0-0 do I add nutes now or when?
