Although Fox Farm comes with perlite in it, many growers will add about 20-30 percent.

Fox Farm does come "Hot" (A lot of nutrients) which can burn a seedling trying to establish it self.

Start in a soiless mixture, then transplant into the fox farm.

My suggestion would be to go with a 60/40 soil mixture

60% Promix, or Peat Moss
40% Soil
30% Perlite

Dolomite lime (For PH stability)

you should be golden after that

Ive been using Fox Farm Ocean Forest and I add nothing to it and the girls LOVE it. I have used it for seedlings all the way to harvest.

DO NOT add any nutes for 4 weeks. It has enough to last that long, but dont forget to eventually start adding nutes again.
