Thank you both!!
Unfortunately it's MG seed starting potting mix. I know a lot frown on it. I explained in my journal that these seeds were from bud I bought to smoke.
Until the 21st I won't have my setup entirely ready. I was wanting to just experiment with these seeds. I plan on using Foxfarms ocean mix but the closest FF dealer is a good hour drive so I grabbed MG from lowes to play with these seeds.
For the record prosperian has been a shit ton of help and hopefully I can learn to make my own and cook soil like he does.

keep that soil moist until they start showing their first set of true leafs.
People hate on MG because they simply cannot grow!
I'd advise you to pick up some Sta-green soil and a box of MG tomato granular fertilizer. Good for if you are on a budget and produces some nice buds. Just go 1/4'th strength and build your way upp every 2 weeks. I have found nuteing at 1/2 strength was too much. 1 1/2 teaspoons every 2 weeks worked good with the sta-green soil. Just remember to flush 2 weeks before you harvest. 1 week seem'd to have taken all the chemical taste out of the buds. You'd want to flush BEFORE your bud's start fattening up as if you don't they will absorb the nutes into the buds and it's then harder to leach it out. I've heard boiling roots works to deplete the chemicals out of the buds but have not tried this myself. Heard this from a old grower with 3-+ years experience so they cannot be wrong

Thank you!! The 18-18-21 tomato form? Does the soil look too dry?

MG has nutrients in it right? If so, it can kill the seedlings although with my plants I started them off in seerys multipurpose compost with added john innes which had nutrients and all that happened was that the first set of true leaves had nutrient burn and the rest of the new growth was perfect and it still is doing very good

I, too had read that starting seeds in nuted soil may kill seedling.
Currently I have 4 Strawberry Cough in FFOF from the start. They seem just fine.
To OP FWIW: My very first grow attempt I used those peat pots I see in your post. I would up drowning 7 of 8 seedlings. Just be aware of moisture level. Those pots hold on to alot of water. I'm sure they work as lots of people use them to grow all sorts of stuff. Just keep an eye on moisture.
Good luck
