Dirt too Hot for seedlings indoor

Grow Cycle Preparations
1

I have a bag of Fox Farm Ocean Forest Potting soil and 16 Qts Perlite. Was going to add 1/3 Perlite to Fox Farm soil.
Got my first seeds from I❤️GM autos Bruce B. Gorilla Glue, and Girl Scout. My seeds been soaking 24 hours following the I❤️GM way for germination.
I just read a couple of old post where someone claims Ocean Forest too hot to put seedlings in and suggests transplant seeds to like a potting soil in a hole the size of a Dixie cup in the pot with the Ocean forest. ???
Wasn’t planning on adding nutrients until 4 weeks after transplanting. What and when should I add ?
I am designing a PVC SCROD for each individual 3 gal. VIVOSUN pots . :thought_balloon: Thinking. 16x16 PVC frame for the first layer Scrod and the second layer 20x20 PVC frame? 4x4 plant doing 4 autos…
How high above the top of the pot should my first Scod be?

Thanks you guys are GREAT

Easy solution for you buddy. Take a gallon of that soil and flush it with 10 gallons of water, pH’d to 6.8. Use that for your seed starts.

I recommend adding perlite, absolutely. As for nutrients I can only recommend jacks. FF trio will work as well.

That being said I’ve seen a dozens of growers start seeds in OF with success.

No problem im new grower too. Just got this new vivosun tent and these blue dream autos. Just kinda going day by day right now just giving them 6.5 ph water. I’ve grown a few outside and leme tell you these leaves in these are super fat compared to all the ones I’ve done outside in regular dirt. Loving the deep deep green. Might turn the lights up to 75% and raise em to like 24-26 inches soon.

I grow outside I am going to LCI. Lebanon Correctional Institute. If I could grow outside I give a new meaning to a green grass lawn.
Until then I am stuck growing in the basement mixing soil and eating Pizza. Good bud and Pizza just like Fast Times At Ridgemont High.

Could you define finicky? I thought autos were easiest ? I was getting the impression they are like trying to kill a Cactus by not watering it.
What do I have to be on the look out for, yellowing from fertilizer burning ?

Nothing wrong with your opinion, humble or not.
