It was called Pro-Mix Organic. The guy at the hydro grow store recommended it to start seedlings in. I was trying to find the npk values on the bag but don't see them..
Is it too soon to move them to bigger pots with Foxfarm Ocean Forest Mix? Or do you recommend something else with the same smaller pots?
It's not really about the size of the container yet but not a bad suggestion since you will be changing soil anyways. You will eventually need a larger pot so now is as good a time as any. Right now though it is about the health and growth of your plants.
So I replanted them in FFOF yesterday. I kind of messed up the root system on the first one a little bit but then got the hang of transplanting the smaller plants and the rest came out perfect. I hope that first one will be ok as well though. How long should I expect it to take to get some noticeable results? At this time I cannot notice any change at all.It's not really about the size of the container yet but not a bad suggestion since you will be changing soil anyways.

Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil is a great suggestion for soil however since it is mass produced it can be inconsistant. I use FFOF but I mix it with coco. I use a 60/40 mix of coco/ffof this mix is very plant friendly and the roots love it which means the plants love it as well.
If you do end up going with the coco ffof mix try finding the dry compacted block of fine coco fibre. To use it put it in a large tub and treat with cal/mag water ph'ed at 6.0 before mixing with the soil. It will take several gallons of water and each gallon will need at least a teaspoon of cal/mag. The coco will absorb all the water real quick.
Thanks for all your help. One last question: Any suggestion on a good soil to start seedlings in?Give them a few more days to catch on then they will take right off. Good choice on the soil btw. As long as there were some roots left on the first plant then it will be fine. A plant really only needs one root left to make full recovery after a semi botched transplant. I accidently broke the entire root ball off a plant once, ooops, and the darn thing acted like a clone and took off about a week and a half later, I was shocked, but I was not about to let that plant go to waste. It was a fully vegged plant getting ready for the flower room, had to veg it for a couple weeks longer but she ended up being the bigger one out of 4.
Good luck and you should see results soon
FFOF is one of your best bets. Black Gold is also good. I use FFOF but always mix it with something light and airy to delute the FFOF just incase it is too strong for my seedlings. I have cut it with seedling starter soil and with coco, I prefer coco as a mixer becasue it is neutral, light, and airy. For the seedlings I mix at 70/30 coco/ffof and once I transplant the mix goes to about 60/40 or 50/50.
Here are some I just took.
