Review: Seeds germinated well. - Good stuff.
Review: You need this for germinating your seeds and getting your plants off to a great start! - This is a superior product, I could smell the richness of the soil before I even opened the bag. The mix is, like others say, a bit hydrophobic, meaning it takes some time to begin absorbing. . I hastened this process by using hot tap water. First dribble some water on top of the seed tray to soak the top surface. Then, with a measured 6 cups of hot water, lift a corner of the tray and gently pour the entire contents in. Make sure the tray is level, if not, some parts will stay dry. Wait 30 minutes, then check under the pots to make sure all the water has been absorbed. Check the soil in either end to be sure the soil is well moistened. Then you may commence planting your seeds. Additional hints: I added a tablespoon of Alaska Fish Fertilizer 5-1-1 to the 6 cups of water. This is available at Walmart, and is worth every dime you pay for it. Just a little goes a long way, that large bottle will last you a long time, be sure you read ALL the directions first. A heat mat and grow lights will increase your chances of seed germination by 80%. I'm looking forward to a bumper crop of hot peppers this year!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best seed starting medium
*by K***I on August 26, 2025*

This is the best seed starting medium! I have tried a few different types the past few years, and this is by far the best. I have close to 100% seed germination rates. I haven't had any issues with mold or insects. My seedlings from Miracle-Gro seed starting mix are stronger than the ones grown with other mediums and I can use the same containers and potting medium for germinating and for my seedlings. I've tried mixing this with coconut coir to stretch it out a little and get more use out of it- don't do that! When I mix with coconut coir the seedlings are weaker, yellow, and more susceptible to damping off. This potting mix has all the nutrients your seedlings need, and coconut coir lacks the nnutrients. Coconut coir might work for germination, but you'll need to immediately move your seedlings to a medium with more nutrients and substance like this miracle-gro seed starting mix. Save yourself time and just use the miracle-gro from the start. It's worth it!
