I’m trying to be self sustaining with my grows using a poly tunnel and making my own soil but I’m struggling with getting seedling going .I thought the compost and soil might be too rich any ideas how I can make a better seedling soil? 

Love and peace🌱

@arniescarpa I got put onto the jiffy coir pucks by @bubblehok. They're awesome, just soak until swollen then pop seed straight to coi puck without soaking the seed. I've got one more to pop up and that'll make a 100% germ for me on this run using this method. The Coco should be good to go straight in the soil once the seedlings have sprouted. But if sustainable zero waste growing is your thing I follow a gardener on IG called spicy_moustace who is a guru on zero waste growing. Hope you find a solution

I start my seeds off in a jiffy pick in a propagator or small pot.  Or by using light potting mix untill they're a few nodes high. 

I killed 10 Chemdogg seedlings in hot soil last year and it hurt me to the core 😞😂

Hello 🙂 

I understand your pain lol its always disappointing   frustrating and expensive when your seeds don't pop.

I have learnt something from percys,  plant your seeds pointy bit down or on their side. Jiffy pucks are great and I would recommend. Keep them , moist and warm and dark.

Best wishes 

H
