**HELP** Will this soil be good to use???

I bought this soil (attachment) at my local farmers market. Will this be good enough to grow my seedlings all the way to harvest time? Im growing northern lights, hubba bubba, and juicy fruit. Also, is it better to germinate using moist towel method, or just plant them in my soil? Do i immediately put my 400w mh on them once planted, or do i wait until i see the sprout?? Any and all beggining stages advice is very much appreciated!!! Ingredients are; composted fruits n veggies (including the following: apples oranges lettuce pineapple tomatoes grapes potatoes broccoli greenbeans celery asparagus artichoke avacado bananas bell peppers carrots cucumber eggplant blueberries raspberries strawberries red onions yellow onions corn peaches coffee lemons limes cabbage mushrooms cauliflower squash and appricots), composted forest humus coco peat and perlite. These are all the ingredients from the bag of soil i just bought. Any advice would be VERY appreciated!

I couldn't imagine any soil being able to do that....ull prolly have to repot in fresh soil before u flower....now if ur running autos or something ur idea may have some grounding....but I'd assume u'd be starving them come time to flower.

What do u mean starving them? Ill add nutrients like big buddz etc.... But is this soil good enough to grow?

Iron and Potassium mostly. Ever seen Popeye the Sailor Man?

I'm Popeye the sailor man
I live in a garbage can.
I eats all the worms
And spits out the germs
I'm Popeye the sailor man.

I'm Popeye the sailor man
I live in a frying pan
I turn up the heat
And burn up my feet
I'm Popeye the sailor man

I'm Popeye the sailor man
I've never stepped foot on the land
I like to go swimmin'
With them mermaid women
And float on my back to get tan.

Then it get's weird after that.

Are u serious or just playn?

Popeye The Sailor Man is nobody to just go fucking around with. The Spinach Party is a force to be reckoned with. Dare you to watch this, 60's cartoons were drawn by folks way more toasted than today.

I say add some perlite and some worm castings and tell us how it goes. I've had good results with Gardener Gold by Coast of Maine.

where can i get perlite and worm castings at a reasonable price?

My favorite so far is just plain Coco coir at 5.7-5.8 pH.. mix in some perlite.. up to 100% perlite or 0% perlite... the perlite holds less water than the Coco coir.. My second favorite medium is peat moss, perlite, and a small amount of dolomite lime... 6.4-7.1 pH...

you can get a cubic foot of coco for like 10 bucks and you can get like 2 cubic feet of peat moss for 10 bucks. the perlite is more expensive.. maybe 20 bucks per cubic foot

Why would you run ur pH higher when you have dol lime mixed with your medium? Is peat moss acidic or something?
